An excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved Longines Admiral Five Stars Automatic, an outstanding example of early 1970s Swiss watchmaking. This reference 8339-2 features a sharp, unpolished 35mm stainless steel case, a crisp vertically brushed silver dial, and the original Longines-signed buckle—an appealing detail for the discerning collector. Powered by the reliable Longines cal. 508 automatic movement (serial 51459818, dating to circa 1977), this piece not only captivates with five-star character but also demonstrates a measured +8 to +10 s/d on the timegrapher with strong amplitude, confirming healthy mechanical performance.
