Here is a fabulous, all original Longines Admiral Automatic from 1973. The brushed silver dial is in excellent condition, with a steel Longines logo and five Admiral stars. At the poles are railroad style hour markers with black contrast and lume squares on the inner ends. In between are steel strip hour markers with black contrast. The baton hands have the original lume and are in fine condition with some marks visible. The window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be quick-set by repeatedly pushing the crown in.
The stainless bezel is in fine condition with some overall wear, perhaps most pronounced at around 12, 4 and 7 o’clock. The stainless steel case with the original crown is in very fine condition, with a radially brushed face and polished sides. It shows some wear, mostly on the sides. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a few marks and scratches.
The original stainless steel bracelet is in very fine visual condition but shows stretching. It is large enough for big wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details fits your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult.
Inside the watch, Longines wonderful 506 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in July 2023 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
