　　An introduction to the classic Longines Master Collection watches

　　Now, Longines has added rose gold and yellow gold models to this collection, paired with black dials and new sizes. The new watches caused a sensation as soon as they went on sale. This particular watch is crafted in 18K rose gold and paired with a brown alligator strap. The blue steel hands on the dial are captivating, completely disarming me.

　　The watch features a silver "barleycorn" textured dial with painted Arabic numeral hour markers. The minute track is printed on the outer ring of the dial. This clearly layered design makes reading the time quicker and more convenient, with meticulous design running through every detail of the watch.

　　Looking at the side of the watch, this model has a thickness of 10 mm. The thickness is moderate, fitting comfortably on the wrist without feeling too heavy, yet not so thin that you lose the sensation of wearing a watch. The crown of the watch is also crafted in 18K rose gold and is engraved with Longines' classic winged hourglass logo.

　　Regarding the alligator strap fitted to this watch, here is a simple method to identify genuine alligator leather: within the large bamboo-grain patterns of genuine alligator leather, there are many tiny, irregular textures, whereas fake alligator leather lacks these. Because fake alligator patterns are machine-pressed, the texture on fake alligator leather appears rigid and lifeless. The images above all show genuine alligator leather.

　　From this image, we can also see the sapphire crystal exhibition case back of the watch, crafted from the same material as the crystal glass. Longines' sapphire crystal watch glass is corrosion-resistant, acid-resistant, scratch-resistant and virtually shatterproof, with a porosity of zero, meaning that only natural diamonds can scratch it.

　　This watch features a double calendar display, providing both date and day indications. Such a design makes it particularly suitable for professionals in the workplace, though it should be noted that the date must never be adjusted between 9 in the evening and 3 in the morning to avoid damaging the mechanism.

　　The date and day display windows are positioned at 3 o'clock on the watch. From this picture, we can also see the Master Collection's distinctive silver barleycorn pattern design, which is truly unique. The watch is fitted with a triple safety folding clasp with a push-piece opening mechanism. The advantages of this type of clasp are its security, and the great convenience with which it can be fastened and opened. The watch is equipped with the L636 automatic winding movement, vibrating at 28,800 times per hour to ensure precise timekeeping, and the movement provides a power reserve of 38 hours.

　　Having read this far, I would like to recommend a popular Longines watch for everyone. For more enquiries, please add WeChat.
