The Longines MASTER COLLECTION (ref. L2.910.4.78.6) is an automatic watch, with a 40mm stainless steel case, 10.8mm thick, powered by the L897.2 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30m, under a sapphire crystal, with hours, minutes, seconds, month and date by annual calendar complications. Manufacturer MSRP is $2,850. The dial color is silver.
Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its excellent fit and finish, attractive dial aesthetics with engraved numerals and textures, and overall value, particularly for complications like chronographs and moonphases at its price point. Reviewers note the refined design and product quality, with some finding the case appears less thick than its stated height. Owners report a buttery winding feel and appreciate the 72-hour power reserve. However, some owners find the case finishing homogenous and the traditional styling overshadowed by modern trends. Specific models draw criticism for subdial placement cutting off numerals, a lack of bracelet micro-adjustments, uninspiring crown and pushers, and 30m water resistance being on the light side. One owner reported a broken moon phase setting mechanism, while another felt the dial and chapter ring looked cheap.
