Longines Master Collection GMT


I took a Longines Master Collection GMT a while back here and I really enjoyed it. While many WIS "poo poo" Longines (I learned to use that term today yutuber a) because it's not a very strong brand that some mechanisms, it represents very good value for your dollar and a very well designed clock.

       This is a collection of watches Longines Master of size 43 mm. It is also quite thick, probably due to movement ETA A07.171 Valgranges. Valgranges movements are based on the Valjoux 7750 engine are very reliable and robust, thick as. The case is well designed and feels good on the wrist.

      As you can see, this model has 24 hour GMT hand to set a different time zone. I just keep mine at the same time for me to say whether the company AM or PM, when I reset the clock after it has been in the trunk for a while. I like the look of the plant with 4 hands, all blued steel. A complaint about the bracelets is that it does not have a half-links and tend to be too loose or too tight on me.

       Nice texture on the dial, which is one of my favorite features of this watch. The Arabic are also very well painted. The additional row of 24 hours Arabic adds a level of sophistication of the series as well. The Master Collection is one of my favorite designs Longines ... and I like a lot of them.

       In this photo you can see Valgranges movement ETA, Valjoux and that's 7750th It is fully decorated with Côtes de Genève bridge and rotor with full Perlage the rest of the movement. This is a very nice move for this level of the clock.
