The Longines Master Collection Moonphase Year of the Horse timepiece has been created by the brand with the Lunar New Year in mind to provide collectors with a stylish way to celebrate the holiday.
The watch commemorates the Year of the Horse for 2026 in the Chinese calendar and features a 42mm stainless steel case that keeps the Caliber L899.5 automatic movement with its 72-hour power reserve inside. The watch features a sun ray-brushed red dial in a dramatic hue that's paired with gilt accents on the indices as well as the matching leaf-shaped hands. The red and gold hues were strategically chosen as a nod to Chinese symbolism for prosperity.
The Longines Master Collection Moonphase Year of the Horse timepiece is limited to 2,026 examples priced at $3,400 each.
