The Spirit Pilot costs €2,600 on rubber, while the Flyback chronograph is priced at €5,100 on rubber.
Longines updates its Master Collection Moonphase Chronograph to a sleeker 41mm case with blue applied indices and a cleaner dial, while keeping the same L687.5 movement and a $4,250 price, ensuring strong value on either strap or redesigned bracelet.
Longines updates its Master Collection with ice-blue dials on the 39mm and 41mm automatic models, introducing a barleycorn guilloché-like dial with a grooved minute track and updated hands, along with slimmer cases (39mm 9.05mm; 41mm 9.50mm), sapphire crystals and 30m water resistance. Each watch runs on the Longines-calibre L888.5 (ETA-based) with a 72-hour power reserve; prices are €2,500 for the 39mm and €2,650 for the 41mm, with immediate availability.
Longines unveils the Master Collection Chrono Monopusher, the line’s first monopusher chronograph, powered by the new hand-wound Caliber L799.5 with a heat-blued column wheel. The 41mm steel case features barleycorn-textured dials and a sapphire caseback, offered for $3,995.
Longines expands the Master Collection with two launches: a refreshed Chrono Moonphase (41mm, flatter dial, applied numerals) powered by the Valjoux-based L687.5 with a 66-hour power reserve, priced at $4,250 on bracelet or alligator strap; and the collection’s first modern Monopusher Chronograph (41mm, pulsometer scale, no date) with the ETA-built L799.5 manual-wind caliber, 68-hour power reserve, priced at $3,900 on a leather strap. Both share a cohesive 41mm case profile and polished finish, underscoring strong value in a dressy-meets-technical package.

The sapphire caseback reveals the L799.5 movement with column-wheel and vertical clutch, running at 28,800 vph with 68 hours of power reserve. It ships on brown or anthracite alligator straps with a micro-adjustable clasp and is priced at CHF 3,200, blending tradition with contemporary detail in a dressier chronograph.
