Longines Lady Ref. 1027-1 | Cal. 5601
Produced in the mid-1970s, this Longines Lady model reflects the brand's understanding of mechanical elegance at the time in its purest form.
Housed in its compact 24 mm case, the Longines Cal. 5601 movement was one of the highest-precision hand-wound calibers of its time.
Its blue sunray-effect dial, silver Roman numerals, and classic lines, along with its case shape and genuine leather strap, truly embody the "Swiss Made" elegance of the era.

Movement - Longines Cal. 5601
Calibre 5601 is one of the thin-profile hand-wound movements developed by Longines in the 1970s. Its 17-jewel structure, stable torque distribution, and compact size ensure high precision, especially in small cases.
The movement is simple, service-friendly, and durable.
Longines' 5600 series embodies the principle of "preserving mechanical integrity even in elegant cases."
Design and Aesthetics
The polished surface of the stainless steel case is balanced by the tonal gradients of the blue dial. The white contrast of the Roman numerals enhances legibility and lends a classic presence. With a very slim profile of 7.3 mm, the model perfectly embodies both period elegance and Longines's simple design approach.
The original alligator leather strap and logo buckle complete the model's integrity.
