Longines Master Series 190th Anniversary Commemorative Edition

Longines was founded in 1832 and has a history of 190 years. In the past two centuries, Longines has won the favor of countless watch fans with its classic and elegant appearance and precise and reliable movement technology. To celebrate the 190th anniversary of the brand, Longines launched a commemorative watch this year – L2.793.4.73.2. This watch is a member of the famous watch series and is what we will focus on today.

The Master Series is a series launched by Longines in 2005. It focuses on classic appearance, automatic movements and relatively friendly prices. It is the classic formal watch representative of Longines. This L2.793.4.73.2 is more like a watch tailor-made for this series. It not only fits the style of the famous craftsman series in appearance, but also has many highlights in the movement.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of this watch. The diameter of the watch is 40mm and the thickness is 9.35mm. It is very suitable for matching with formal occasions such as suits. The case is made of fine steel with soft lines and a curved sapphire mirror. The overall look is very classic. The simple crown is also embossed with Longines’ iconic flying wing hourglass logo, which is very eye-catching.

What catches our attention the most is the dial design of this watch. The silver sandblasting process makes the entire dial have a matte effect, which greatly improves the recognition. The three-dimensional Arabic numerals and blue steel hands are not only easy to read, but also very beautiful. The retro calligraphy number font adds a lot of nostalgia to the entire watch.

The smoky gray crocodile leather strap with a triple folding safety clasp not only enhances the class of the entire watch, but is also quite practical. I believe that many watch friends have already been moved when they saw this. Such a work that combines beauty and practicality has a public price of 19,900 yuan. At this price, it is definitely the king of cost performance.

Let’s talk about the core part of this watch – the L888.5 movement. The L888.5 movement is Longines’ own movement, so there is no need to worry about performance. This movement has a swing frequency of 25,200 times per hour, 21 gems, a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, and a silicon hairspring design, which greatly improves the anti-magnetic capability. These data are very top-notch in Swiss watches, especially the silicon hairspring design, which is almost unique in this price range.

Although this L2.793.4.73.2 is a commemorative model, we prefer it to become a regular model, because it is so excellent, both in appearance and movement technology, it shows the historical heritage of Longines as a century-old store and the progress of watchmaking technology. In this era of fast-moving consumer goods, we would rather see brands like Longines calm down and polish their own works, rather than blindly pursue speed to market.

Conclusion

This commemorative model of the Longines Master Series really perfectly combines classic and modern. Whether it is appearance design or movement technology, people can feel the brand’s ingenuity. I personally think that such a good watch is worth collecting by every watch fan! What do you think of this watch?
