About Longines Watches

A short history of Longines

Longines has operated from Saint-Imier since 1832, making it one of the oldest continuously registered watch trademarks in the world. Its winged hourglass has appeared on aviation instruments flown by Charles Lindbergh and on precision timing equipment used at international sporting events for over a century. That archive is the reason the modern Heritage line can draw on genuine mid-century designs rather than invented nostalgia.

Which Longines model should you buy?

The Master Collection is the classic automatic dress watch, often with moonphase or annual calendar complications. The Spirit line revives the brand’s pilot-watch heritage with chronometer-certified movements. HydroConquest and Conquest cover sport and diving, while DolceVita offers rectangular, distinctly art-deco styling. If you are buying a first Swiss automatic, the Master Collection and Spirit both deliver disproportionate quality for the money.

Buying Longines pre-owned

Longines is arguably the strongest value proposition in Swiss watchmaking. Chronometer certification, sapphire crystals, silicon balance springs and genuine automatic movements appear at prices where many brands still fit quartz. Because Longines does not carry the speculative premium of the top tier, pre-owned examples are often available at a substantial discount to retail while remaining mechanically excellent.

We currently have 66 Longines watches in stock (61 new, 5 pre-owned), ranging from $395 to $5,550. Every watch is inspected and certified by our specialists before it is listed, and is covered by our authenticity guarantee and 2-year warranty, with free insured worldwide shipping.

What to check before you buy

• Check whether the movement is chronometer-certified — Spirit models usually are, and it affects value.
• Look for a silicon balance spring on recent references; it improves antimagnetic performance.
• Inspect the bracelet for stretch at the links, common on older Conquest models.
• Confirm the crown screws down properly if the watch is rated for swimming.

If anything about a listing is unclear, speak to a specialist before you commit — we would rather answer questions than process a return. You can also read how we authenticate every watch we sell, or browse the full index of watches in stock.
