The Longines MASTER COLLECTION (ref. L2.128.8.78.3) is an automatic watch, with a 25.5mm gold case, 9mm thick, powered by the L592.5 movement and a 45-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30m, under a sapphire crystal, with hours, minutes, seconds and date complications. Manufacturer MSRP is $6,350. The dial color is silver.
The Longines Master Collection is widely praised for its excellent value, with reviewers and owners citing its dressy aesthetic, good fit and finish, and attractive complications like annual calendars and chronographs for under $3,000. Owners highlight the beautiful dials, engraved numerals, and the L893 caliber's 72-hour power reserve. Some find the standard Master Collection thin and well-finished, while others note a slightly thicker case on certain models. A few owners express reservations about the bracelet's adjustment options and the homogeneity of the case finishing. One reviewer points out that the subdial can obscure the '7' numeral on the Small Seconds model, and another notes that pushers can feel cheap and the chrono hour counter may not reset perfectly. Water resistance is noted as 30m on some models.
