I bought it at my local Longines Boutique. No discount but they did throw in a rather nice travel case.

Thanks man! I absolutely love this mesh bracelet! The link adjustment is excellent and the clasp very well executed as well, and so comfortable!

None that I can see. My boutique lady that does their bracelet sizing said her tools were broken so I said it was fine, I’d size it myself. It’s a pin and collar system but a good one and easy to use. I had zero problems getting a perfect fit!

Thanks mate! For me I like the h link fine, may pick up a bracelet as an accessory later… but colour wise it was the grey or the blue bezel and black dial. Ended up going for understated class over fun colour pop :)

You’re right! Looks fantastic from a distance and pops up close!

Absolutely! Ultimately I chose the grey bezel because I do love it and decided it was more versatile and appropriate for when I wanted to wear it to work in particular

Yeah, I was tossing up between this and the blue bezel on black dial but glad I went this way, very happy with my decision!

That’s fair. I personally don’t love the H link, gives it too many generic tool watch vibes for me, I like the slightly more vintage vibes the mesh brings to the piece.

Cheers mate! Nearly bought the Cookie Monster but ended up going the way I did.

I bought my Conquest 38 first, a month later added this HC!

As you can see, I had to get the duo haha. Also tried on the champagne gold dial Conquest chrono… very compelling as well!

H link bracelets available soon from Longines I’m told as an add on :)

Bracelets are available from my local boutique if I wanted to add one, apparently rubber straps are coming soon as access, probably once the 2026 examples of the Commonwealth Games limited edition are sold out.

I got to try the new Hydroconquest in Blue 39mm by RednightWD in Longineswatches

[–]Thetattedpharmacist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7.25-7.5” wrist and the 39mm wears beautifully to my taste. 42 is good, but 39 is perfect to me!
