As a traditional watchmaking company, Longines has been
producing exceptional timepieces since the very beginning.
Today, the Longines Master Collection is the perfect illustration
of this corporate ethos, as can be seen from the success enjoyed
by this range since it was launched in 2005. All fitted with self-
winding movements, the various models in this collection
offer various sophistications. The Longines Master Collection
brings together the classical elegance and excellent quality
which never cease to delight those who appreciate exceptional
timepieces.
In 2005, Longines launched the line that would become its
best-selling product: the Longines Master Collection. Right
from the start, this range has enjoyed a level of success that has
never waned, making it an emblem of the brand's watchmaking
know-how. Over the years, new sizes and sophistications have
been added, while the timeless classicism which is the brand's
essential characteristic and which has played a major role in its
success worldwide has always been maintained.
In addition to the traditional models with three hands,
the Longines Master Collection offers a wide range of
sophistications.
Businessman one day, sportsman the next and at times a jet-
setter, today's man is many-sided and always on the move.
And his range of requirements can all be satisfied by the choice
of displays offered by the models in the Longines Master
Collection: chronograph functions, indication of time in all 24
time-zones worldwide, power-reserve indicator, phases of the
moon or retrograde functions.
The sophisticated models in the Longines Master Collection
are available in various diameter sizes (38.5 mm, 40 mm, 41
mm, 42 mm, 44 mm) in order to provide the ideal watch to suit
every wrist. All models are fitted with self-winding movements.
The cases are available in steel, steel and yellow gold or 18 carat
rose gold.
The black or silver dials are decorated with a barley-corn design
which enhances the rhodium-plated or blued steel hands.
Water-resistant to 3 bar, these models also have a transparent
case back through which the proud owner can admire the
fascinating working of the movement. Each timepiece is
mounted on a steel and yellow gold or a steel bracelet, or on a
black or dark brown alligator strap, all having a folding safety
clasp
