The Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC is widely praised for its robust COSC-certified Kenissi Werk 11 movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve, and its stealthy, scratch-resistant Dianoir DLC coating.

Some reviewers note a subtle difference in the color tone of the DLC coating on the crown and bezel lock between variants. Overall, owners and reviewers regard the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC highly for its durable construction and reliable, high-spec movement.

The automatic movement, Caliber L899, demonstrates consistent accuracy averaging a loss of 1.3 seconds per day across six positions and 3-4 seconds per day on the wrist, performing within COSC standards. The automatic movement offers a 72-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers highly regard the Longines PRIMALUNA for its blend of classic aesthetics and contemporary design updates, particularly appreciating the automatic movement's performance and the watch's overall stylish appeal.
