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: 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. They are all 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 one can admire the 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.
