The Longines Master Collection GMT Celebrates Gold
Since its founding in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Longines has stood out as an exceptional name in the world of watchmaking. The luxury house continually innovates, offering iconic models that combine outstanding materials with cutting-edge innovations. In the spirit of collections such as the Dolcevita or Conquest, the brand celebrates traditional watchmaking through timepieces that truly make a difference. Today, it unveils two new watches: The Longines Master Collection. Available in an ultra-limited edition, these two masterpieces are offered in yellow gold and rose gold.
A Brand with a Pioneering Spirit
Longines embodies centuries of expertise in the creation of exceptional timepieces. Present in more than 150 countries, the brand represents a pioneering spirit that inspires artists and collectors worldwide. Its first wristwatch, created in the 1920s, proudly featured the Zulu pennant on its dial—a strong symbol of military aviation innovation. Its dual time zone function was a small revolution at the time and was patented shortly after. Tradition, elegance, and performance are pillars that perfectly define the brand. Its winged hourglass logo, Longines’ distinctive emblem, has become a reference in numerous sporting events, particularly as the official timekeeper of world championships. This close association with sports reinforces Longines’ dynamic and precise image.
Beyond its rich heritage and commitment to innovation, the Swiss watchmaker continues to stand out in the luxury watch segment. Its timeless creations embody the perfect union of artisanal tradition and contemporary demands. As a prominent member of the Swatch Group Ltd, Longines has maintained a global presence, offering watches that combine design, performance, and noble materials. The brand not only writes the history of watchmaking but continues to shape it, reaffirming its status as an icon in the world of prestigious watches.
Gold at the Heart of The Longines Master Collection
The Longines Master Collection introduces two luxurious new models. Limited to 500 pieces each, these exceptional timepieces are crafted in yellow gold or rose gold. Refinement and attention to detail are central to these high-end watches, reflecting Longines’ ability to blend heritage with a forward-looking vision. These new timepieces are sure to captivate watch enthusiasts worldwide.
Sapphire Case
At the heart of these limited editions lies Longines’ exclusive caliber L.844.5, housed in a remarkably fine sapphire case. Its silicon balance spring provides resistance to magnetic fields up to ten times the ISO 764 standard. The automatic mechanical movement, visible through the transparent caseback, offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours. With a 40 mm case, this watch perfectly marries elegance and performance.
Frosted Silver Dial
The frosted silver dial is a miniature work of art. The 24-hour scale with Arabic numerals on the flange, and the inverted positions at 3 and 9 o’clock for easier reading of the second time zone, highlight the meticulous attention given to every detail. The railroad minute track, gold Roman numeral markers, and date window at 6 o’clock add sophisticated touches. Gold leaf-shaped hands and a black GMT hand harmonize with the dial numerals, enhancing readability while adding undeniable elegance.
Anthracite Leather Strap
Completing the overall aesthetic is an anthracite leather strap with an exceptionally soft touch, achieved through a special vegetable “soft touch” tanning process. The yellow or rose gold pin buckle, depending on the model, perfectly complements the design. This is the ideal combination of luxury and comfort.
Centuries of Watchmaking Expertise
Longines draws strength from its centuries-long horological expertise. A pioneer in numerous technological advances, the Swiss brand demonstrates remarkable elegance with its new creations. The company’s ongoing commitment to innovation is reflected in its automatic movements, such as the silicon balance spring, a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material that improves precision and longevity while protecting the watch from temperature variations and magnetic fields. With a five-year warranty, Longines demonstrates confidence in the quality of its products.
Yellow Gold or Rose Gold: Luxury on the Wrist
The Longines Master Collection rounds out a range of exceptional watches, recognized worldwide for their quality. The brand’s centuries-long heritage is complemented by contemporary innovations. These limited-edition watches captivate with their refined aesthetics, advanced technology, and deep respect for tradition.
