Brand: Longines | Model: Master Collection Chrono Monopusher | Reference: L2.960.4.78.2 | Category: Classic Chronograph / Monopusher | Release Year: 2026
Last updated: August 25, 2026
Longines introduces the first monopusher chronograph in its Master Collection, with a single crown-integrated button controlling the start, stop and reset functions. This reference combines an ivory barleycorn dial, a 30-pulse pulsometer scale and the manual-winding Calibre L799.5 with a 68-hour power reserve.
Longines has produced single-button wrist chronographs since 1911, making this complication an important part of the brand’s history. The no-date bicompax layout, 30-pulse medical scale and visible column-wheel Calibre L799.5 give this release genuine historical and mechanical substance. Its $3,900 price also makes it an unusually accessible monopusher chronograph from a major Swiss heritage brand.
The exclusive manual-winding column-wheel movement, historically important monopusher architecture and $3,900 retail price should give this model strong enthusiast appeal. No limited-edition designation has been announced, so production scarcity should not be assumed.
