PrimaLuna Moonphase

A quartz moonphase is an unusual combination — most brands reserve the complication for mechanical movements to justify the price, so seeing it here on a battery-powered caliber tells you Longines built this as a design statement first, precision instrument second. Reference L81154616 pairs a green dial with the moonphase aperture, in a 30.5mm steel case on a steel bracelet, water resistance 30m. The upside of the quartz base is that the moon disc will actually stay accurate without the periodic correction mechanical moonphases need. On my sheet this scores well on low-maintenance ownership, less well on 'mechanical interest' — know which axis matters to you before buying.
