Get your hands on this serviced Longines Admiral vintage watch (Ref. 8181-2) with cal. 501 automatic movement. Stainless steel case, original dial, guaranteed functionality, classic 1960s design.

Model History:
The Longines Admiral line was introduced in the late 1950s and gained strong recognition throughout the 1960s as a refined yet slightly sport-oriented collection within the brand’s portfolio. Positioned between classic dress watches and more robust everyday pieces, the Admiral models were known for their reliability, clean aesthetics, and high-quality automatic movements.
This example, powered by the Longines calibre 501, belongs to the early generation of Admiral watches. The 50x movement family represented a technical step forward for Longines, offering a robust automatic winding system combined with manual winding capability and improved durability. The distinctive five-star “Admiral” signature on the dial symbolized precision and dependability, making these watches popular among professionals and enthusiasts alike.
