Vario Empire Tachymètre ChronographvsLongines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.

Owners widely praise the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE for its beautiful and legible dial, offering significant complications for its value. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +8 seconds per day and another stating it is their most accurate watch. Some find the chronograph hour hand placement inconvenient, and the date hand can occasionally overlap the hour hand. The watch is noted as being thick, typical of Valjoux-based chronographs, and its 3 bar water resistance limits it to less demanding environments. One owner observed scuffs on the case of their example, and another found the blue on the band and numerals less vibrant than pictured. Overall, owners rate the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE highly for its impressive complications and aesthetic appeal at its price point.
