A feminine, round-case watch that also works as a bracelet: that is the Longines Primaluna. Our range includes several versions, among them Primaluna Moonphase models; if you are after a specific version, write to us and we will look into sourcing it. As an official dealer, we send a genuine watch with the manufacturer warranty, and our own watch service handles battery changes on the quartz pieces.
What kind of watch is the Longines Primaluna?
The Primaluna is a Longines collection made specifically for women: a soft-lined round case, a gently curved bracelet, and in many cases diamond or mother-of-pearl decoration on the dial. Its name comes from the Italian for "first moon", so it is no accident that the collection includes a moonphase model. Most are quartz, but an automatic version exists too.
Primaluna Moonphase – what does the moonphase show?
In a small window on the dial you can see the moon's position, which repeats its cycle roughly every month. I would not call it a practical function, but it is the detail that makes a watch truly personal as a gift. If a quartz moonphase model stops, our service will also help with setting it after a battery change.
What to look for when buying a Primaluna
- Primaluna watches are rated 3 atm: handwashing is fine, swimming and showering are not.
- A metal bracelet has to be fitted to the wrist; our own watch service removes the links.
- For a gift, measure the length of a bracelet or watch that the recipient wears, which will tell you the size.
How do you choose a Primaluna size online?
The Primaluna comes in several case sizes, roughly between 26 and 34 mm. For a slim wrist and a jewellery-like effect the smaller case is lovelier; if you want a more prominent, more modern women's watch, choose the larger diameter. You can easily check the size given on the product page by cutting a paper disc and laying it on your wrist before you order.
You will find other women's collections on the Longines brand page, for example DolceVita and Conquest models. If you are looking for a gift, feel free to ask us and we will help you choose.
Longines Primaluna – frequently asked questions
What movement does the Longines Primaluna have?
The Longines Primaluna is made with both quartz and automatic movements. Most of the collection is quartz, which gives a thinner case and carefree use.
What does Primaluna Moonphase mean?
The Primaluna Moonphase is the collection's moonphase-display version, which shows the moon's current position on the dial. It is often chosen as an elegant gift watch.
What determines the price of a Longines Primaluna?
The case size, the decoration and the movement: diamond, mother-of-pearl and moonphase versions sit in the higher price range of the collection, while simple quartz models are the entry level.
Does the Primaluna come with a warranty?
Yes. As an official Longines dealer, we supply it with the manufacturer warranty, and battery changes and bracelet adjustments are handled by our own watch service.
