Longines Watch Conquest Mikaela Shiffrin Edition. L3.379.4.98.6
This stunning Longines Conquest Mikaela Shiffrin Ediiton watch has been exclusively designed in collaboration with American alpine skier and one of Longines’ Ambassadors of Elegance, Mikaela Shiffrin. Longines have been a privileged partner of the ski world for almost a century, remaining the Official Partner of the International Ski Federation and being famed for their immaculate sports watches and high precision Swiss made movements used in sports timekeeping. Mikaela Shiffrin has also worked alongside Longines for many years and decided she wanted to design a watch that not only showcased her own tastes but was inspired by the very slopes she conquered.
Measuring to 36mm in size, the Longines Conquest Chronograph Mikaela Shiffrin watch is crafted from sleek stainless steel and is fitted with a matching metal bracelet and a triple safety folding clasp with push piece opening for extra security and comfort. Housed beneath scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass treated with anti-reflective coating is an instantly noticeable blue aventurine dial which evokes the glitter of snow crystals as they can be found on the snowy mountains Mikaela Shiffrin skis on. The choice of blue and the bold red accents found on the interval marks and chronograph seconds hand also represents the colours of the American flag, honouring the champion’s home country. Powering the hour, minute and chronograph seconds, a date window at 4 o clock and two subsidiary dials for continuous seconds and 30 minutes is a Swiss quartz movement which is kept hidden behind a stunning closed case back engraved with Mikaela Shiffrin’s signature and a silhouette of her skiing.
