Longines Admiral HF

HF = High frequency (28 800)

Rare, ca 1974, manual winding

In excellent original condition

“Admiral” no less, this is a sports/dress watch in the tradition of for example the Seamasters and Seastars from the same vintage period. Maybe this Longines has a more traditional touch though; very clean, no date dial in a design typical of the mid sixties. There is sparingly use of tritium, only lume dots at the quarters and on the tip of the hour and minute hand, all lume also intact. The stainless steel case is of the much used late sixties “C” shape, reference number of case is 2301 3. The original crown is a nice detail, showing that this watch has not been overused. We have not serviced the movement, but are happy to guarantee it for 12 months. It runs with no beat error and keeps over 200 in amplitude in all 5 positions. The caliber is numbered 6942 and the serial number is 51492587. The movement has a “Metal” ring numbered  130.025 around the periphery. Probably this is for antimagnetic purpose. Dimensions of the case is: Diameter: 34,1, lug tip to lug tip 40 and thickness a slim 9,9 mm.
