Longines Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase (L2.773.4.61.2)

Key Complications & Dial Features

This watch is a "triple calendar" chronograph, meaning it tracks time, date, and lunar cycles simultaneously:

• Moonphase Display: Located at the 6 o'clock position, showing the current phase of the moon.

• Chronograph (Stopwatch): The central thin hand tracks seconds, the 12 o'clock sub-dial tracks minutes, and the 6 o'clock sub-dial tracks hours.

• Triple Calendar: * Day & Month: Displayed in the two small windows at 12 o'clock.

  • Date: Indicated by the central "crescent-tipped" hand pointing to the numbers 1–31 around the outer rim of the dial.

• 24-Hour Indicator: Located at 9 o'clock, helping you distinguish between AM and PM (useful when setting the calendar).

Technical Specifications

• Movement: Calibre L687, a self-winding mechanical movement (automatic) with a power reserve of approximately 66 hours.

• Case: Stainless steel, typically 42mm in diameter.

• Dial: Anthracite (dark grey) with a "sunray" finish, featuring applied pink Roman numerals and matching pink hands.

• Glass: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on both the front and the transparent case back (allowing you to see the movement).

• Strap: Grey alligator leather with a triple safety folding clasp.

Design Aesthetic

The "Master Collection" represents Longines' heritage in watchmaking. This specific model balances a modern dark aesthetic with vintage-inspired elements like the Roman numerals and the intricate sub-dial textures. It is widely considered a "powerhouse" watch because it offers complications usually found in much more expensive luxury brands.
