How do i change the date on a 1960's longines Admiral?

  • Anonymous Jan 15, 2010

    i found out today how to do it.
    it doesnt have a "quickset" function like that apparently they didnt become popular till the 80s.
    the crown only has one click and you just have to wind it constantly between 6pm and 1am so the date clicks over and over, the day then winds back as you go from 12pm back to 9pm. a bit of a pain but it worked.

If you pull out crown gently, you will notice there are two clicks (positions), not just one. So the first click, when crown is not pulled out fully, is exactly for day/date adjustment. If you pull the crown further out, watch is in hand adjustment mode. Try it carefully and you will find out the right position.

I have a Longines Lungomare L3.633.4. The chrono reset counter pusher has fallen off and I can't find a replacement anywhere? The cheapest quote I had was 400 pounds not really worth doing?

Absolutely worth doing. It is a premium make and a $1,200 watch. They are nearly $700 used on the secondhand market.

How do i set an older longines automatic admiral watch to the correct date and day

You can get instructions from their web site but if your watch is really old, then it seems unlikely that any of the instructions there are for your watch.

However, since watches tend to have similar features (although not the modern electronic types), a basic modern watch probably operate in the same manner.

Go to "www.longines.com/watches/instructions" and have a look at the range of instructions there to see if they are any help.

If nothing useful is found look at the "official retailers" to see if there is a local shop that can help you.
