About this watch
The Longines Master Collection 44 Retrograde Power Reserve (Model: L2.716.4.78.3) is a stunning testament to the art of watchmaking. With its elegant design, practical functionality, and rich heritage, it’s more than just a watch; it’s an experience. The first thing that strikes you about this watch is its elegant round shape, at 44.00 mm in diameter, making it a sizable timepiece that commands attention without being overly ostentatious. The stainless steel case gives it a robust feel, while the guilloche finish adds a touch of sophistication. The silver dial is beautifully complemented by Arabic numeral indexes and Feuille hands that glide smoothly over the surface, adding a vintage charm to the modern watch. At the heart of this timepiece lies the Longines caliber L697.2, a self-winding mechanical movement with an impressive 48-hour power reserve, boasting 25 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. One of the standout features is its three retrograde functions, including the 24-hour hand, day, and date indicators, which add a unique flair to the watch. The watch comes with a luxurious alligator leather strap that perfectly complements the overall aesthetic, designed for comfort and durability.
