A Wide Array of Choices for Indices and Straps Also a Highlight


The "Longines Master Collection," born in 2005, has been loved by many ever since. An annual calendar model has been added to this flagship model, which combines an authentic style with an automatic movement.

An annual calendar is a calendar function that automatically adjusts and displays the date for the entire year. Due to leap years, calendar adjustments are only necessary at the end of February, but it features a sophisticated mechanism capable of automatically determining the number of days in each month.

The annual calendar model is equipped with the new Caliber L897, which achieves a long power reserve of 64 hours, and all case sizes are 40mm. The calendar is displayed at the 3 o'clock position, and the caliber's presence can be confirmed at any time through the sapphire case back.

Indices include Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, and bar markers, as well as 13-point diamond indices. Straps are available in black, blue, or brown alligator leather, or stainless steel, offering a wide variety of choices.
