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.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eBrand and Model: Longines Admiral Automatic UFO\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eReference: 8581-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCase Material: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCase Size: 39mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eLug-to-Lug: 44mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eThickness: 12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eDial: Original black dial with applied baton markers, red accent indexes, and framed date at 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCrystal: Acrylic (period-correct)\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCrown: Signed\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eStrap or Bracelet: Aftermarket steel bracelet with original Longines folding clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCaliber: 431\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eJewels: 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eMovement Type: Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eMovement Serial (masked): 5089••••\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eEstimated Production: Circa 1970\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eWater Resistance: Splash Water Resistant (handwashing ok, not showering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eService Date: 14-03-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox\/Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure black travel watch case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Invoice and our service certificate worth €369 — included free of charge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🚚 Shipping, Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsured worldwide shipping. 14-day inspection (unused, seals intact).
