The Longines MASTER COLLECTION (ref. L2.257.5.37.7) is an automatic watch, with a 29mm 18k yellow 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. Manufacturer MSRP is $3,950. The dial color is steel.
The Longines MASTER COLLECTION is widely praised for its excellent finishing and value, with owners highlighting its classic design and dressy profile. Reviewers note the beautiful dial execution, featuring engraved Breguet numerals and snailed subdials on some variants, and the smooth winding feel of the automatic movements. The Master Collection Chronograph is specifically lauded for its column wheel chronograph and moon phase complication at its price point. However, some owners find the bracelet difficult to adjust due to a lack of micro-adjustments, and one reviewer criticized the case finishing and pushers on the chronograph as homogenous and cheap-feeling. The Master Collection Annual Calendar's 30m water resistance is considered light by one source. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines MASTER COLLECTION highly for its classical styling and exceptional value, particularly for its complications and finishing at the price.
