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.

This watch showcases what Longines are best known for; classic designs and strong engineering. The watch looks fantastic on the wrist and will certainly put a smile on your face. This is a watch that goes well with both formal and casual wear and it will serve you well for many years to come.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
