Over the years, Longines has produced some amazing watch collections that have become popular among watch enthusiasts all over the world. Among these collections, the Master collection has its own special place. Launched in 2005, the Master collection is one of the most successful ranges by Longines. The watches of this collection are known for their elegance and quality. Each model comes with various special features as well as self-winding movements.

The Longines Master Collection has some iconic timepieces that will appeal to watch lovers. For instance, the Moonphase Chronoscope, the Annual Calendar, and the Chronograph are notable watches from this collection. Each of these models has a special feature that defines their uniqueness.     

Longines has established itself as one of the most recognizable brands of luxury watches. For over 180 years, the company has been producing the best watches and chronographs. This is why their winged hourglass logo is considered a mark of quality. 

The foundation of Longines was laid in the year 1832 at the hands of Auguste Agassiz and a couple of his business partners. It was named Raiguel Jeune & Cie at the start. However, the name was changed to Longines which is the name of the area where the first factory of the company was established. Due to the high quality of its timepieces, Longines quickly became one of the top watchmakers in the world. 

Longines introduced the world to the crown-wound mechanism that revolutionized the watch manufacturing industry. It solidified the reputation of the company as a market leader in innovation. Longines has carried on its tradition of introducing new designs and techniques for watchmaking. 

Although Longines is a brand of luxury watches, its watches aren’t that expensive. You can easily get a Longines watch that suits your style and taste at an affordable price. The company has continued to reinvent itself throughout its history and has come up with modern versions of their classic watch designs. The Longines Master Collection is a similar attempt by the company to offer something new to the people. 

The Master collection by Longines has watches that are equipped with self-winding movements and special features. These features allow the watch to stand out from the others. For instance, the Moonphase shows you the phases of the moon in addition to telling time. Similarly, the Annual Calendar informs you about the date and the month. Despite having these special features, the watches of the Master collection have the same build quality and elegance that has been a hallmark of the Longines brand. 

The Longines Master collection was launched in the year 2005 with the aim of providing modern-looking classical watches that were available for an affordable price. All the watches of this collection have an understated elegance about them. This range caters to the section of the public who are looking for sophisticated complications in a timepiece. You will find both highly complex as well as incredibly simple watch designs in the Master collection. This versatility is why it is among the most successful collections of the company. 

Let us have a look at some of the most iconic models of the Longines Master collection.

The Longines Master Moonphase Chronoscope 

The Moonphase Chronoscope is the fanciest watch of the Master collection. It has multiple special features and a total of eight hands. The hands are given a blue steel color that makes them easy to spot on the silver ‘barelycorn’ dial. Despite the complexity of the dial, it isn’t hard to read at all. In fact, the dial looks quite refined and has a touch of elegance that is magnified by the scratch-resistant glass on top. 

The Moonphase Chronoscope offers conventional functions such as hours, minutes, and seconds as well as special functions like moon phase display, triple-date calendar, and a column wheel chronograph. This watch is powered by the caliber L687 which is a self-winding mechanical movement. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has 66 hours worth of power reserves. 

The Longines Master Chronograph 

The Chronograph is among the most coveted watches of the Master collection. It offers two special features and five hands. This watch has a sunray blue dial and silvered polished hands while the hour markers are in the form of applied indexes. The case of the Chronograph is round in shape and has sapphire crystal glass on top that is scratch-resistant. 

The Chronograph can give you information regarding hours, minutes, and seconds. It is also capable of telling you the date. You can find the date display at 6 o’clock. This watch also has a chronograph feature that is located at 9 o’clock. Powering the Chronograph is the caliber L889 which is a self-winding mechanical movement. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of almost 59 hours.  

The Longines Master Collection Annual Calendar

The Annual Calendar is another excellent model from the Master collection that looks good on any wrist. You can wear it with casual as well as formal dressing. The dial of this watch is given a blue sunburst finish with the hours indicated as angular applied markers instead of numbers. Completing the modern look of this timepiece are polished anodized hands that are easy to read in any lighting condition. 

Unlike the Moonphase Chronoscope, the Annual Calendar has just one special function. The annual calendar feature is located at 3 o’clock. It shows you the current date and the month. The date is displayed in Arabic numerals while the month name is shown in English. The Annual Calendar is powered by the caliber L897 which is a self-winding mechanical movement. It beats at 25,200 vibrations per hour and has enough power reserve for up to 72 hours.
