I have sent a follow-up email (e.g., great pleasure to meet you, see you soon, etc.) after a business conference to a senior colleague. He responded with 'Dear X., Please call when you have a chance, here is my number:...' He didn't mention any specific time.
Should I call him anytime during the working hours? Or ask for a preferred time? Or did he mention this just casually, nothing serious and no need to call?

That normally means "Call at your earliest convenience."

So basically, now if it's still during office hours, or call first thing. If he's not available, try again later. If he's still not available, email again and say that you'd try to ring him but was unable to catch him. He can then either call you when he is available (if he has your number, feel free to include it in the email), or can arrange a specific time time with you.
