Longines RECORD

Ref. L2.821.4.11.2
Dress

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Longines RECORD for its COSC-certified L888.4 movement, often noting its excellent accuracy, with one owner reporting figures between 0 and +2 seconds per day and another experiencing -5 seconds per day in its worst position. The watch is frequently highlighted for its comfortable, thin case, described as elegant and well-balanced, with specific mentions of the clean dial design, applied numerals, and sharp blue hands. Some owners find the Roman numeral font exceptional and the watch a great value for its price. However, several sources point out a lack of micro-adjustment on the bracelet and no lume, with 30m water resistance also noted as minimal. One reviewer found the 40mm size with a 13.8mm thickness cumbersome and its legibility terrible due to the handset and dial printing, while another owner felt the watch wore larger than expected.
