FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Prima Luna collection?

The Prima Luna collection is inspired by the delicate glow and beauty of the moon, translating its poetic essence into feminine watch designs.

Does the 30mm dial size fit all wrists?

The 30mm size is designed to be elegant and proportionate for many female wrists. However, personal preference varies, and some may prefer a larger or smaller case size.

Can I shower or swim with my Prima Luna watch?

Water resistance varies by model. Check your specific watch's rating. Most Prima Luna models are not designed for submersion and are best protected from water exposure.

How often does a self-winding movement need servicing?

It is generally recommended to have self-winding mechanical watches serviced by an authorized professional every 3 to 5 years to maintain their accuracy and ensure the longevity of the movement.

Are the diamonds on the dial genuine?

Yes, Longines uses genuine diamonds on its diamond-adorned dials, adhering to strict quality standards.

What is the difference between the date version and the moon phase version?

The date version displays the current date, typically in a window on the dial. The moon phase version includes an additional complication that tracks the phases of the moon, adding a decorative and functional element.

Can I change the bracelet on my watch?

While possible, changing the original bracelet may affect the watch's aesthetics and value. If you wish to change it, it is recommended to use high-quality, compatible straps and consider consulting a professional jeweler.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

For quartz models, the battery may be depleted and needs replacement. For self-winding models, ensure the watch has been worn for sufficient hours in the day or manually wound if it has stopped.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not trying to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Adjust the time to a neutral position (e.g., 6 AM), set the date, and then set the correct time.

Loss of time accuracy

For quartz, it may require a battery change. For mechanical models, significant deviation could indicate a need for servicing or exposure to magnetic fields. Consult an authorized service center.

Clasp is difficult to open/close

Ensure there are no obstructions. If stiffness persists, a jeweler or watchmaker can inspect and adjust the clasp mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  • Quartz Models: These models typically require a battery. The watch will arrive set to the correct time or with protective plastic over the crown. If adjustment is needed, gently pull the crown out to the first or second position (depending on function) and turn to set the time and date. Push the crown back in fully to resume normal operation.
  • Self-Winding Models: If the watch has stopped, wind the crown manually about 30-40 turns clockwise while in its resting position (crown pushed in) to build up initial power reserve before wearing.

Compatibility:

  • Strap/Bracelet: The Prima Luna typically comes with a metal bracelet. Ensure the clasp is securely fastened when worn.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: Check the specific water resistance rating for your model. Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its stated rating. For models with significant water resistance, ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down.
  • Avoid Magnets: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
  • Servicing: For self-winding models, it is recommended to have the watch serviced by an authorized Longines service center every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
