The Longines Spirit Zulu Time pays homage to the brand’s legacy of producing precision instruments worn by pioneering adventurers throughout history. It embodies the spirit of exploration and recalls Longines’ pioneering role in the development of watches with multiple time zones. With its stainless steel 39mm case, the new Zulu Time model perfectly complements its larger predecessor, while its discreet dimensions ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist.

The collection showcases a range of dial options, including a matte black, sandblasted anthracite, or sunray blue dial, each featuring a date window positioned at 6 o’clock. One standout highlight of the collection is a version with an eye-catching 18K yellow gold bi-directional rotating bezel and crown. The bezel incorporates a chocolate brown ceramic insert with a gilt GMT track, adding both aesthetic appeal and functionality to the timepiece.

Beneath its refined exterior, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time in 39mm boasts exceptional technical features. It is powered by an exclusive Longines caliber with a silicon balance spring, ensuring precise timekeeping. Longines has also incorporated anti-magnetic components, including the silicon balance spring, to protect the watch from the influence of magnetic fields in our daily lives. With resistance to fields of 600 to 800 gauss, the Zulu Time remains unaffected by magnetic interference.

The time zone display of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time is driven by an innovative technology that allows the hour hand to be adjusted independently of the GMT indicator. Additional time zones can be read using the 24-hour hand and the bidirectional rotating bezel, which is graduated over 24 hours. With a power reserve of 72 hours and COSC chronometer certification, this timepiece ensures exceptional accuracy and reliability.
