Case
The round case is made of stainless steel and features the classic, understated form characteristic of the Master Collection.

The case is predominantly high-gloss polished, including the smooth fixed bezel and the top sides of the lugs. The curved lugs descend gracefully and give the watch a pronounced presence on the wrist despite its classic diameter.

The case is in neat used condition. There are light hairlines on the polished surfaces and normal superficial signs of wear. There are no noticeable heavy dents or major damages.

──────────────────

Dial
The silver-colored dial is one of the most recognizable elements of this execution.

The central area features a fine, regular guilloché/barleycorn pattern. The texture makes the dial’s character change with the light, while the black Arabic numerals provide strong contrast.

Around the outer edge is a separate minute scale with fine index markings and five-minute numerals.

Below 12 o'clock is the LONGINES inscription and the winged-hourglass logo. Above 6 o'clock is AUTOMATIC, with SWISS MADE at the bottom of the dial.

The dial is in very neat condition.

──────────────────

Hands
The watch features the classic blued steel hands that characterize many Master Collection models from this generation.

The hour and minute hands are elegant feuille-shaped. There is also a long, slender central second hand.

Depending on the light, the hands visually range from nearly dark blue to a bright steel blue, which provides a nice contrast with the silver-colored dial.

──────────────────

Date
At 6 o'clock there is a rectangular date window with black numerals on a light background.

Because of its position between the 5 and 7 numerals, the dial remains visually symmetric. The date on the watch reads 27.

──────────────────

Movement
Through the transparent case back the automatic movement is fully visible.
Caliber: Longines L619.2
Type: automatic mechanical
Base caliber: ETA 2892-A2
Jewels: 21
Frequency: 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour
Power reserve: approximately 42 hours
Functions: hours, minutes, central second and date

The rotor features decorative finishing and gold-colored Longines and L619.2 markings. Various decorative finishes of the movement are also visible through the sapphire crystal back.

This is the older L619.2 version of this Master Collection and not the later version with the newer L888 caliber.

Timegrapher measurement
Rate: −1 second per day
Amplitude: 308°
Beat error: 0.1 ms
Lift angle: 52.0°
Frequency: 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour

The measured values at the time of testing are very tidy, with minimal daily deviation, high amplitude, and low beat error.
A timegrapher measurement is always a snapshot and does not constitute a guarantee of future accuracy or the complete technical condition of the movement.

──────────────────

Case back
The case back is transparent, allowing the automatic movement and rotor to be seen.
Around the sapphire glass are engravings including:
THE LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION
WATER-RESISTANT
SWISS MADE
ALL STAINLESS STEEL

The polished metal rim of the case back shows light signs of wear and hairlines.

──────────────────

Crown
The knurled crown features the Longines signature with the winged hourglass logo.
The crown's finish nicely matches the polished case and provides good grip for setting the time and date.

──────────────────

Bracelet
The watch is mounted on a dark brown leather strap with crocodile texture and lightly contrasting stitching.
The strap is used and shows clear signs of wear. On the outer side there are creasing, impressions and visible wear around the adjustment holes. On the inner side there are discolorations and wear marks.
The strap should therefore be regarded as clearly used.

──────────────────

Clasp
The strap is equipped with a polished steel Longines-signed deployant clasp.
On the top side are LONGINES and the winged hourglass logo. The clasp shows light superficial signs of wear and hairlines that are consistent with normal wear.

──────────────────

Wrist circumference
In the current configuration the watch is suitable for a wrist circumference of about 20–21 cm, depending on the chosen adjustment hole.

──────────────────

Included
The watch is offered as a full set, consisting of:
Longines watch
Longines presentation box
Longines outer box
Longines International Warranty card
Longines Instructions for Use / Mode d’Emploi

The inside of the presentation box shows clear wear and chipping of the light lining material. The exterior and outer box also show storage and wear marks. This does not affect the functionality of the set but should be taken into account when assessing the overall condition.

Overall condition
A classically styled Longines Master Collection with the characteristic silver guilloché dial, black Arabic numerals, blued feuille hands and date at 6 o'clock. The case and dial present well, while the automatic L619.2 movement is visible through the transparent case back.
