The word automatic doesn't seem like it should be there?

 

It's hard to tell if your watch has been repainted based on that photo. We'll need much better lighting and some focused, straight-on pictures to provide an opinion. That being said...this ad is for a Conquest, not a Flagship...but it shows the same positioning of "Automatic" as your example:

 

^ This, and I would second that I have seen that particular configuration before, but indeed a focused photo would be better.

 

Yes I have seen that on a Conquest but have not seen the word in that position on a Flagship before

 

On a Flagship in that position?

 

I believe so, though I can't back it up with photos. But more importantly, do you have a clearer picture?

 

I will try to get some more

 

Always be extra suspicious of black print on a white dial.
To my eye, the spacing and centering of "Automatic" seems off, relative to the winged hourglass.
No SWISS at 6?
And is that a minute marker printed on top of that hour marker, or just a shadow?

 

I'll carefully say that it looks good to me. Photo still quite hazy, though.

The darkness on the 8 marker could be a shadow; the light source seems to come from above at 12

 

Not the same watch, but perhaps useful to compare with

 

Different font, but automatic under the hourglass logo:

 

I do not recall seeing this dial print/print location on a Flagship of this era, so I am wary.

 

The automatic in that location is unusual, but I don’t have any doubts about the originality of the dial. The quality of the font looks too good to be a re-dial IMHO. And I think @Vitezi’s concerns about the location of aromatic on the dial are because the photo isn’t taken straight on; the watch is slightly turned to the left.

It looks like there is a Swiss at 6 that is just obscured by the crystal.

Is this solid gold and do you know the movement? Knowing the caliber in particular would help narrow down a time frame/originality.

 

It is indeed solid gold. Not sure about the calibre though. I have just never seen the automatic in that configuration on a Flagship dial that's all.

 

I second this. If it is a re-dial I'd love to know who do it, it's a very good one in my opinion.

 

Dial looks pretty good to me overall. I haven’t researched the details though.

And just looking on my phone ...

 

Perhaps some one could have used an authentic ultrachron flagship dial or conquest dial and replaced it?

 

It does say Flagship, so can't be a Conquest dial. To me, as others have mentioned, the writing looks too fine to be a redial. It would not be unheard of for Longines to have dial variations like that.

Compare the quality of the font with the HF example I posted. The style and quality is identical. So my opinion remains as before, probably authentic.

 

For what it's worth, the Heritage Flagship had this configuration (Automatic under logo), maybe they got the inspiration from some vintage model unknown to us
