Bigger than the 38mm model but still slim and elegant, the 41mm Longines Conquest L3.830.4.72.6 is the size for anyone who wants a little more dial without giving up a refined profile. Its sunray silver dial with applied indexes and dauphine hands has a clean, almost dressy look.

The model belongs to the 2023 Conquest generation, a modern take on a name Longines first used in 1954. Power comes from the Longines L888 automatic caliber, with a silicon balance spring and a 72-hour power reserve, and it is visible through a screw-down sapphire caseback. Sapphire with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the dial, and the watch is water resistant to 100 meters.

The case measures only 10.9mm thick, so the extra diameter never feels heavy. A steel bracelet with triple-safety folding clasp and push-piece release completes the watch. It is a strong choice for larger wrists, or for anyone who likes a modern-sized steel sports watch.
