Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of movement does the Longines Record Collection watch use?

It is powered by the Calibre L895 automatic movement, which is COSC-certified.

What is the power reserve of this watch?

The watch has a power reserve of approximately 59 hours.

Is the watch suitable for swimming or diving?

While the case is typically water-resistant, the presence of a leather strap and chronograph function means it is not designed for extensive water activities like swimming or diving. Always check the specific water resistance rating for your model and avoid unnecessary water exposure.

How often should I wind the watch?

If worn daily, the automatic movement will self-wind. If you wear it intermittently, it's recommended to wind it manually about 30-40 turns every few days to keep it running and the lubricants distributed.

What does COSC certification mean?

COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certification means the watch movement has been tested and meets high standards of accuracy and reliability in various conditions.

Can the leather strap be easily replaced?

Yes, the leather strap can typically be replaced by a watchmaker or a qualified jeweler, allowing for customization or replacement when the original strap shows signs of wear.

What is the case material of this watch?

The case is constructed from stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown 30-40 turns. If worn daily, ensure sufficient wrist movement. If the issue persists, the power reserve may be depleted, or a service may be required.

Chronograph not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph has been fully run before resetting. If the issue persists after attempting a full cycle, the chronograph mechanism may require adjustment by a qualified watchmaker.

Inaccurate timekeeping

As a COSC-certified chronometer, it should be highly accurate. Significant deviation may indicate a need for servicing. Avoid strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.

Strap clasp is difficult to open/close

Ensure all parts of the clasp are aligned correctly. If persistent, check for debris or damage, and consult a watch professional if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional timekeeping accuracy due to COSC certification.
Long 59-hour power reserve for extended convenience.
Classic and elegant design suitable for formal and casual wear.
Durable stainless steel construction for longevity.
Precise automatic movement that honors traditional watchmaking.

Cons

May be considered too traditional by some users seeking modern aesthetics.
Leather strap requires care and may need replacement over time.
Chronograph function adds complexity, potentially increasing service costs.
40mm case size might be large for very slim wrists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, the Record Collection requires winding to start. If the watch has stopped, wind the crown approximately 30-40 turns clockwise until you feel resistance. Once running, it will self-wind through the motion of your wrist.

Compatibility: The leather strap features a standard buckle mechanism with a secure folding clasp, designed for comfort and ease of use. It is designed to fit most adult wrist sizes, but precise fit may vary.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water or harsh chemicals. Use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary.
Winding: If not worn daily, wind the watch manually every few days to maintain the power reserve and keep the movement lubricated.
Water Resistance: While typically water-resistant, it is advised to avoid submersion, especially with a leather strap. Consult the specific water resistance rating for your model.
Servicing: Automatic watches, including this model, generally require servicing every 5-7 years to ensure optimal performance.
