The Longines Master Collection is the brand's classic automatic line, with moonphase and chronograph models too. In our range you will find it in both men's and women's sizes, all with an automatic movement, and many models have a transparent case back that shows the movement at work. We are an official Longines dealer: we send a genuine watch with the manufacturer warranty, and if you want to change the strap, our own watch service is at hand for that as well.
What do you get with a Longines Master Collection watch?
The Master Collection is for those who love the classic watchmaker's form: a round case, fine blued steel or gilt hands, a guilloché or simple dial, and often a transparent case back showing the rotor in motion. The watches in the collection are automatics, so the movement of your wrist winds them. Their water resistance is typically 3 atm, so they belong with a suit, the office and formal occasions, not swimming.
Moonphase, chronograph or simple three-hand?
- Three-hand with date – the most legible, an everyday elegant watch.
- Moonphase – the dial also shows the phase of the moon; often chosen as a special gift.
- Chronograph – with a stopwatch function and a slightly sportier character.
The more functions, the busier the dial; if you rarely look at your watch, the three-hand is more than enough.
Master Collection for women
The women's models come with a smaller case but the same classic automatic movement. If you are looking for a women's automatic Longines rather than a sports watch, this is one of the best places to start. You can see the full range on the Longines brand page.
How do you choose a Master Collection online?
Measure your wrist circumference and go by the case diameter given on the product page; thanks to the classic form, even a smaller diameter looks elegant. With regular wear the automatic movement will not stop; after a few days of rest, restart it with the crown. In the product photos you can also look at the movement through the case back crystal, which is one of the loveliest details of the Master Collection.
