FAQs
Is this watch suitable for swimming?

What is the power reserve of the L888.4 movement?
The L888.4 calibre movement has an approximate power reserve of 72 hours (3 days).
How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?
Use a soft brush with mild soap and water to gently clean between the links. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What does 'Chronometer Certified' mean?
Chronometer certification (by COSC) means the watch movement has undergone rigorous testing for accuracy in various positions and temperatures, ensuring exceptional precision.
Does the watch come with a warranty?
Yes, Longines typically offers a 5-year warranty on their watches, covering manufacturing defects.
Can I wear this watch for formal occasions?
The classic design and 37mm size make the Longines Spirit adaptable. While it has a sporty heritage, its refined finish allows it to be worn with business attire or even some more formal wear, depending on the specific setting.
How do I adjust the stainless steel bracelet clasp?
The triple safety folding clasp usually has micro-adjustment points or a dive extension that can be used for minor size adjustments. Refer to the watch's specific manual or consult an authorized dealer for precise instructions.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If the watch is worn daily, it should remain wound by the automatic rotor. If it stops frequently, ensure sufficient movement throughout the day or consider a service.
Date is not changing correctly
Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date-changing mechanism is engaged and can be damaged if forced. Set the time to midday, then set the date, and finally set the correct time.
Loss or gain of time
Minor deviations (e.g., a few seconds per day) are normal for mechanical watches. If the deviation is significant (more than 10-15 seconds per day), the watch may require regulation or servicing. Avoid strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.
Difficulty operating the crown
Ensure the crown is fully pushed in or unscrewed correctly before attempting to adjust time or date. If resistance is met, do not force it. Contact an authorized service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch and requires no initial setup beyond winding to start.
- Winding: If the watch has stopped, wind the crown approximately 30-40 times in a clockwise direction while it's in its closed position. This will provide a sufficient power reserve.
- Setting Time and Date: Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date. Pull it out to the second position to set the time. Always move the hands forward to set the time and date to avoid damaging the movement.
Compatibility:
- Strap Compatibility: The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet. While custom straps can be fitted, ensure they are compatible with the lug width (typically 19mm for this model) and the watch's aesthetic.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the bracelet, use a soft brush to clean between the links.
- Water Resistance: Although water-resistant to 100 meters (10 bar), it's advisable to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water and dry it thoroughly. Ensure the crown is always screwed down or pushed in to maintain water resistance.
- Servicing: It is recommended to have the watch serviced by an authorized Longines service center approximately every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
