The Longines Master Collection comprises some of the best-selling watches in the world, helping Longines maintain its place as fourth top-selling Swiss watch brand after Rolex, Omega and Cartier. The top seller by Longines is a watch in the Master collection, which was launched in 2005 and has all the characteristics required for good sales: silver-coloured dials, and the date window. This year Longines have added two colours to the Master collection, with blue and grey dials. The watches are made in a range of sizes, 25.5 mm and 29 mm for women, and 38.5 mm, 40 mm and 42 mm for men. This makes them ideal for another trend that is more popular in Asian countries than in Europe: his and her watches. They are available with stainless steel bracelet or an alligator strap in the same colour as the dial. The version with the blue sunray dial shown below shows that this colour continues to be a fashionable option. Rhodium-coated hands, no SuperLuminova.
