A Boldly Feminine Timepiece from The Longines Master Collection

The Official Watch of the President of UAE Show Jumping Cup

During the President of UAE Show Jumping Cup in Abu Dhabi, United Arab
Emirates, Longines is proud to present a moon phase model for women
from one of its emblematic lines known for its watchmaking expertise -
The Longines Master Collection. Since the success of the men’s moon
phase models of the line introduced two years ago, Longines took on the
challenge of fitting a moonphase indicator in a 34 mm case and skillfully
achieved this technical feat while ensuring the exquisite expression of
elegance of the timepieces for women. This vivacious blend of technical
sophistication and pure feminine elegance will entice women wishing to
pursue both fine watchmaking and timeless style.
A consummate display of elegance, character and purity, this newly
introduced timepiece of The Longines Master Collection is both feminine
and technical, showcasing the brand’s success of incorporating the
aesthetic codes and watchmaking complications into one refined creation.
Known for its watchmaking excellence, Longines endows this iconic line
with a wide range of exclusive mechanical movements, highlighting the
watchmaking tradition that the brand holds dear.
This sophisticated model is distinguished by its elegant appeal and, in
particular, a watchmaking complication hidden in its 34 mm case – a
moonphase indicator. Fitting a moonphase indicator and a date hand at 6
o’clock in a case of this size was a real technical challenge made possible
with Longines’ longstanding watchmaking expertise. The mechanism is
powered by a self-winding mechanical movement that offers fundamental
gains in terms of precision and reliability; the exclusive L899 automatic
caliber is fitted with a light and non-magnetic silicon balance spring that
is hard-wearing and impervious to thermal expansion. This meticulously
designed timepiece is perfectly suited to the wrist of women looking to
stand out from the crowd with their strong will and character or simply
looking naturally elegant in their everyday lives.
Attractive for its captivating radiance, the mother-of-pearl dial echoes
in harmony the luster of brilliant cut diamond hour markers. Reinforced
by the aesthetic codes of The Longines Master Collection, the silver
”barleycorn” pattern of the dial subtly adds dimension and contrast to the
painted Arabic numerals and silvered polished hands, achieving an overall
distinctive look. Suffused with elegance and tradition, this timepiece offers
optimal visibility with its sapphire glass with multi-layered anti-reflective
coating on both sides of its case. The 72 hours of power reserve was
designed to ensure the robustness of the model, further underscoring the
uncompromising quality and reliability of Longines’ timepieces. Fitted on
a blue alligator leather strap, this creation mirrors the timeless elegance
and finest watchmaking tradition that come together for Longines’ tireless
quest for excellence in its timepieces.
