The Longines MASTER COLLECTION (ref. L2.893.4.78.3) is an automatic watch, with a 29mm stainless steel case, 9.64mm thick, powered by the L888.5 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $2,650.
Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its excellent finishing, classic styling, and value proposition, with specific call-outs for beautiful dials, Breguet numerals, and complications like moon phases and annual calendars. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the attractive price point for a Swiss-made timepiece featuring these elements. Some owners note the bracelet lacks sufficient micro-adjustment for a perfect fit, and one reviewer found the case finishing somewhat homogenous. A specific chronograph variant's pushers were described as having a cheap feel, and its hour counter did not always reset to zero, while another variant's subdial obscured a numeral. Water resistance is noted as 30m for one model, considered light by a reviewer. Overall, owners rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its dial aesthetics and the value it offers in complications and finishing.
