The Longines Conquest Monopusher Ref. 8614-1 is a fascinating and rare chronograph from the early 1970s. Unlike conventional chronographs with multiple pushers, the monopusher design allows the start, stop, and reset functions to be controlled through a single button, resulting in a clean, balanced case profile and a uniquely charming operation.

At the heart of this watch lies the Longines Calibre 334, a manual wind column wheel chronograph movement that reflects the brand’s longstanding reputation for producing highly refined chronograph calibres. Its precision engineering and smooth pusher feel place it firmly among the more desirable vintage chronographs of its era.

This example features a crisp silver dial accented with a blue rail track and a vibrant orange chronograph seconds hand—a combination that lends both legibility and vintage flair. Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case and paired with a blue leather strap, this piece strikes a perfect balance between understated elegance and bold detail.
