LONGLUX 8025P Automatic Watch – Date Display, Leather Strap, 41mm, 30M

The LONGLUX 8025P is a 41mm automatic dress watch with a polished gold-tone bezel, date display at 3 o’clock, Roman numeral accents, and faceted hour markers. Chinese automatic self-winding movement, 21 jewels, 21,600 vph. Hardlex reinforced glass crystal. Crocodile-texture leather strap with pin buckle. 14mm thick, 63g, 30M water resistance. 3 dial variants: gold, white, black.

Key Specifications

Design and Dial

The 8025P uses a classic business dress watch layout — round case, polished gold-tone bezel, and a dial combining Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 with faceted applied hour markers at the remaining positions. The date window sits at 3 o’clock. Hands are gold-tone with mild luminous coating, providing some low-light readability though not at the brightness level of Swiss luminous powder.

The dial is available in three colours: gold (warm vintage character), white (clean formal), and black (high contrast). All three share the gold-tone bezel and marker scheme. The leather strap uses a crocodile-texture pattern with a traditional pin buckle closure.

Automatic Movement

The 8025P runs a Chinese domestic automatic movement — 21 jewels, 21,600 vph, approximately 40-hour power reserve. Self-winding via wrist movement; manual winding via the crown. No battery required. This is an entry-level automatic caliber in the same class as movements used across the $50–$100 automatic dress watch segment. Accuracy is typically within ±30–60 seconds per day depending on service state and wear pattern — broader than Japanese or Swiss equivalents at the same price. If the watch has been unworn for more than 40 hours, wind manually by rotating the crown before wearing.

Crystal and Case

The crystal is Hardlex reinforced mineral glass — harder than standard mineral glass and more scratch-resistant than acrylic, though it will mark under contact with metal edges or stone at sufficient force. Not sapphire. The case is alloy construction — lighter than stainless steel at 63g total with strap, with a polished gold-tone finish. The bezel is polished; the case sides are satin or plain finished depending on variant.

30M Water Resistance

Rated to 30M / 3ATM. Suitable for light splashes, rain, and handwashing. Not suitable for swimming, showering, hot water, steam, or any prolonged water exposure. This is the lowest functional water resistance rating — treat it as splash protection only.

Dial Variants

Gold dial / brown leather strap — warm gold and orange-tone dial with brown leather. The most vintage and casual of the three; works with earth-tone and casual dress outfits.

White dial / brown leather strap — white dial with gold-tone markers and hands against brown leather. The most traditional dress watch configuration; versatile for office and formal wear.

Black dial / dark leather strap — black dial with gold-tone hands and markers. The highest contrast variant; more formal and suitable for evening wear.

Who the 8025P Is For

The 8025P is suited for buyers who want the mechanical automatic experience — self-winding movement, no battery, continuous running — in a traditional dress watch format at an accessible price. The combination of leather strap, Roman numerals, and gold-tone bezel gives it a classic business watch aesthetic.

It is not positioned against sapphire-crystal or stainless-steel watches in the same price range. Buyers who prioritise scratch resistance, accuracy, or water resistance should consider the OUPINKE watches collection or San Martin watches for upgraded specifications at a higher price point.

FAQ

What movement does the 8025P use? A Chinese domestic automatic self-winding movement with 21 jewels and approximately 40-hour power reserve, running at 21,600 vph. Not a Miyota or Seiko caliber — an entry-level automatic in the same class as movements used across the budget automatic dress watch segment.

Is the crystal sapphire? No — Hardlex reinforced mineral glass. More scratch-resistant than standard mineral glass but will mark under hard contact. Not equivalent to sapphire.

Is the case stainless steel? No — alloy (zinc alloy) construction. This contributes to the low weight of 63g but is less durable than stainless steel over long-term wear.

Is it waterproof for swimming? No — 30M / 3ATM is splash and rain protection only. Do not swim, shower, or submerge this watch.

How accurate is the automatic movement? Entry-level Chinese automatics typically run within ±30–60 seconds per day. This is wider than the ±10–20 seconds per day of Japanese NH35/NH36-class movements. If timekeeping accuracy is a priority, this movement class may not meet expectations.

How do I wind it manually? If the watch has been unworn and the power reserve is depleted, rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20–30 times to restore charge before wearing.

Which dial colour should I choose? Gold suits casual and vintage-leaning outfits. White is the most versatile for business and dress contexts. Black provides the highest contrast for formal or evening wear.
