The Longines Master Collection Chrono Monopusher L2.960.4.93.2 combines traditional Swiss watchmaking with a distinctive, contemporary finish. Its 41mm stainless-steel case frames a beautifully textured frosted blue “barleycorn” dial, creating depth and character while retaining the refined aesthetic for which the Master Collection is known.

At its heart is a manually wound mechanical chronograph movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing an impressive approximately 68-hour power reserve. The monopusher chronograph design allows the chronograph functions to be controlled through a single push-piece, giving the watch a particularly elegant connection to traditional mechanical chronographs.

A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating on both sides provides excellent clarity, while the watch offers water resistance to 3 bar. Completing the design is an anthracite alligator leather strap, secured by a triple-safety folding clasp with push-piece opening and a fine-adjustment system.

Sophisticated without being understated, this Master Collection Chrono Monopusher is an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate mechanical craftsmanship, distinctive dial finishing and the tactile appeal of a manually wound chronograph.

Monopusher Chronograph & Pulsometer

One of the watch’s most distinctive features is its monopusher chronograph, a traditional complication that allows the chronograph to be started, stopped and reset using a single push-piece. More elegant and mechanically distinctive than the conventional two-pusher arrangement, it gives the watch a clean appearance while reflecting the heritage of early precision chronographs.

Adding further character is the “30 Pulsations” pulsometer scale around the dial. Originally developed for medical professionals, this allows the wearer to measure a heart rate without calculation: simply start the chronograph, count 30 heartbeats and stop it. The chronograph hand will indicate the corresponding beats per minute directly on the scale.

Together, these details give the watch more than visual appeal. They celebrate a period when mechanical chronographs were precision instruments, combining Longines’ watchmaking heritage with a complication that remains both fascinating and functional today.
