LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION CHRONOGRAPH MOONPHASE: THE ELEGANCE OF TIME UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
There are watches that tell the time… and there are watches that tell stories. The Longines Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase clearly belongs to the second group. It is a piece that combines the classic elegance of Swiss watchmaking with a mechanical complexity that captivates at first glance and even more when you discover what happens beneath its dial.
If you are looking for a watch with presence, technical character, and a romantic touch thanks to its moon phase, keep reading.
Classic elegance with its own character
From the very first glance, its 42 mm round stainless steel case makes a statement without losing sophistication. With a thickness of 14.20 mm and a lug to lug distance of 49.50 mm, it achieves a perfect balance between robustness and comfort on the wrist.
The weight of 172.5 grams conveys solidity, while the stainless steel bracelet with triple safety folding clasp and pushers ensures a secure and practical fit.
But the real spectacle begins on the dial.
A dial that captures attention
The iconic silver dial with a barleycorn finish adds texture and visual depth. As light hits it, the dial seems to come alive.
The painted Arabic numerals preserve the classic essence of the collection, while the blued steel hands add that refined contrast that every watch enthusiast appreciates.
And then there is the star complication:
-
Moon phase at 6 o’clock that adds a poetic touch
-
Small seconds with 24 hour indicator at 9 o’clock
-
Date indicated by a central hand with a crescent shaped tip
Each element is arranged harmoniously, achieving a complex yet perfectly legible dial.
The mechanical heart: Swiss precision in motion
Inside beats the automatic L687 caliber, a high precision mechanical movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour 4 Hz, offering a smooth and stable time display.
This movement provides a power reserve of up to 66 hours, meaning you can leave it aside for the entire weekend and it will still be running on Monday.
It also features a column wheel chronograph, a characteristic especially valued by enthusiasts for its smoother operation and more refined construction compared to conventional cam systems.
The chronograph functions include:
-
Central 60 second hand
-
30 minute counter with day and month indication at 12
-
12 hour counter integrated with the moon phase at 6
And if you decide to turn it over, the transparent case back with sapphire crystal allows you to admire the movement in action. A detail that turns every glance into an experience.
Built to last
The watch is protected by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal with anti reflective treatment on both sides, ensuring optimal visibility in any lighting condition.
Its water resistance up to 3 bar 30 meters protects it against splashes and everyday use, although it is not designed for intense aquatic activities.
It is a watch designed to accompany you to formal meetings, elegant dinners, or even daily professional life, always adding a distinguished presence.
More than a watch: a statement of style
The Longines Master Collection represents the purest essence of the brand: tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. This particular model achieves something difficult: combining classic watchmaking complications with a balanced and refined aesthetic. It is not a sports watch. It is not a minimalist watch. It is a watch for those who appreciate mechanics, history, and details.
More than a simple instrument for measuring the hours, the Longines Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase is a piece that reflects watchmaking knowledge, aesthetic sensitivity, and passion for detail. It combines Swiss tradition, technical precision, and the timeless beauty of the moon phase in a balance that transcends trends, making it an ideal choice for those who understand that a great watch not only accompanies time, but becomes part of the personal story of the one who wears it.
