Longines Admiral HF Ref. 2301-1 Champagne Dial · High-Frequency Era · Circa 1974 The Longines Admiral HF belongs to a defining period when Longines pushed precision and modernity through its high-frequency program.

Measuring 34mm without the crown (or 35.5mm with the crown) and a slim 8mm thickness, the watch offers classic proportions that wear effortlessly.
The champagne dial with sharp baton indices reflects the era’s clean, purposeful aesthetic, while the gold tone case adds warmth without excess balanced, elegant, and unmistakably 1970s. Inside is the Manual Wind Cal. 6942, a movement developed during Longines’ technical peak. Offered with original box and an Extract from the Archives, this example carries documented provenance elevating it beyond a beautiful vintage piece into a credible collector’s watch.
