Chinese automatic self-winding movement, 21 jewels, 21,600 vph. Hardlex reinforced glass crystal. 14mm thick, 30M water resistance. Available in silver/black, gold/black, gold/blue, gold/coffee, silver/blue, and coffee/silver combinations.

Key Specifications

Square-Rounded Case and Engraved Details

The L8071 is the only square-case model in the LONGLUX range — a cushion-shaped or square-rounded profile that sits distinct from the round cases of the 8020LM, 8020P, 8025P, and 6272LSP. The case sides and lug sections carry decorative engraved-style carving — a raised relief pattern that gives the case a vintage or art deco character visible from the side and three-quarter view.

The case shape and lug ornamentation are the primary design differentiators of the L8071. Where the other LONGLUX leather strap models use clean round polished cases, the L8071 uses a more elaborate case architecture closer in character to vintage European dress watches.

Skeleton Dial and Roman Numerals

The open skeleton dial exposes the movement bridges, gear train, and jewel-style bearings through the Hardlex crystal. Roman numeral markers are placed around the outer chapter ring, with small decorative details at each position. Slim luminous hands cross the open mechanical display. No date window — the dial reads as ornamental and mechanical.

Automatic Movement

Chinese domestic automatic, 21 jewels, 21,600 vph, approximately 40-hour power reserve. Self-winding via wrist movement; manual winding via the crown. For initial winding, rotate the crown clockwise approximately 25 times before wearing. Accuracy ±30–60 seconds per day. No battery required.

Leather Strap Variants

Black strap (with silver or gold case) — white contrast stitching on black leather. Works with the silver/black and gold/black variants.

Brown/coffee strap (with gold case) — matching brown or coffee stitching on brown leather. The most vintage-coherent combination with a gold case.

Blue strap (with gold or silver case) — the most distinctive and casual option.

Colour Variants

Silver/black — silver-tone case with black leather strap and white stitching. Clean, monochrome character.

Gold/black — gold-tone case with black leather strap. Strong contrast; the most formal combination.

Gold/blue — gold-tone case with blue leather strap. Casual and distinctive.

Gold/coffee — gold-tone case with brown/coffee leather. The most vintage-coherent pairing.

Silver/blue — silver case with blue strap. Cooler and more casual.

Coffee/silver — warm-toned case with neutral strap elements.

FAQ

Is the case stainless steel? No — alloy construction. The engraved lug patterns are part of the alloy casting, not hand-engraved.

Is the crystal sapphire? No — Hardlex reinforced mineral glass. More scratch-resistant than standard mineral glass, not equivalent to sapphire.

Is it waterproof for swimming? No — 30M / 3ATM is splash and handwashing protection only.

How do I set the time? Pull the crown out one position and rotate to set time. Do not force the crown. Wind manually by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 25 times if the watch has stopped.

What makes the L8071 different from the 8020LM? The L8071 has a square-rounded case with engraved lug detail (vs round polished case), giving it a more elaborate vintage character. Both have Roman numeral skeleton dials and the same movement platform.
