Ultimate Buyer’s Guide of Longines Conquest V.H.P.

We often associate luxury watches with mechanical movements, but in reality, quartz movements are an essential part of the high-end watch industry. While quartz watches are more accurate and durable than mechanical replica watches, they often don’t get the respect they deserve. However, not all quartz movements are created equal, and in the case of the Longines watches in the Conquest V.H.P. collection, the quartz movements in them are among the best in the world.
In the Longines catalog, “V.H.P.” stands for “Very High Precision,” which refers to the ultra-precise quartz movements that power the Longines Conquest V.H.P. models. Although the collection is available in many different sizes and configurations, all feature Longines’ advanced V.H.P. movement technology, offering users astonishing timekeeping precision of just +/- 5 seconds per year.
The first Longines V.H.P. movement was created in 1984 as a thermally compensated quartz movement. Over the years, the brand’s high-precision quartz technology progressed and acquired additional features, including a built-in perpetual calendar in 1996. However, the Longines V.H.P. Perpetual Calendar was discontinued in 2006, and the V.H.P. collection remained dormant until it was revived in 2017 with the new lineup of Longines Conquest V.H.P. sports watches.
Quartz copy watches usually perform better than their mechanical counterparts. With fewer moving parts, quartz movements are inherently more durable, and aside from regular battery changes, they don’t require as frequent maintenance as fully mechanical fake watches. Moreover, in terms of accuracy, even the best mechanical movements can only guarantee timekeeping accuracy of a few seconds per day, while high-end quartz movements can achieve the same result over an entire year.
In other words, Longines V.H.P. calibers are among the world’s best and most advanced analog quartz movements. They are astoundingly accurate, at just +/- 5 seconds per year, and they also feature a built-in perpetual calendar and a “smart” crown that allows the user to adjust the time and date without affecting the watch’s chronometry. In addition, the entire Longines V.H.P. collection offers an extra-long battery life of approximately 5 years, with an end-of-life indicator to alert you when the battery is close to running out.
Regardless of size or configuration, all Longines replica watches currently in production feature a stainless steel case with a matching stainless steel bracelet. Whichever model you choose, all Longines Conquest V.H.P. watches benefit from the exceptional capabilities of their advanced quartz movements. Its incredible precision combined with the built-in perpetual calendar and extra-long battery life makes it the best “set it and forget it” luxury watch.
