Description

Longines Admiral 5 Star Ref. 8642 -4 steel vintage wristwatch, circa 1970
A stainless steel automatic centre seconds wristwatch with date and original box and guarantee booklet

This Longines Admiral 5 Star model has a really great looking light grey dial that is in lovely condition. To the outside of the track for minutes/seconds is a red ring which adds a colourful highlight to the otherwise monochromatic dial. Cased in a single block of steel, the watch has a robust design with a polished finish to the upper case and satin finish to the outside of the back. Powered by the Longines calibre 506, this watch incorporates a fast date change facility – whilst the date will change each day around midnight, the date can be manually advanced, when required, by simply pushing the crown in towards the watch case.

Accompanied by the original Longines presentation case and guarantee booklet. The guarantee booklet is blank, having not been filled out by the original retailer and the hinge to the black presentation box is loose.
