The Longines Admiral Automatic UFO, reference 8581-3, represents a pivotal moment in the transition to sporty, contemporary watch designs of the late 1960s. Its broad brushed steel disc case provides the distinctive UFO profile that defines this model. Equipped with Longines' in-house high-frequency Caliber 431, this automatic movement boasts 25 jewels, automatic winding, a date function, and an impressive 36,000 A/h beat rate. Notably, the movement is marked as adjusted in four positions and temperature, ensuring precision. This particular piece maintains a period-correct early 1970s aesthetic with its original black dial, striking red accent markers, red central seconds hand, framed date window, domed acrylic crystal, and wide brushed bezel. While the bracelet is aftermarket, it retains the original Longines folding clasp, preserving a key element of authenticity.
