Enhancing A Modern Legend
In early June of 2020, Longines unveiled its latest addition to the Sports line, drawing inspiration from the daring and pioneering spirit of history’s most renowned aviators, including names such as Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, and Paule-Emile Victor. These influential figures greatly influenced the design and features of the Spirit collection.
Demonstrating Longines’ signature attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship, the timepieces in this collection were crafted to ignite a sense of adventure and the yearning to make a lasting impact on the world. Rooted in a design inspired by the past, these watches are destined to stand the test of time, enduring for decades to come.
One standout model in this collection is the Longines Spirit Zulu Time, which introduces a time zone mechanism to the lineup, further enhancing its practicality and appeal to modern adventurers.
Perfect Companion For The Adventurous Spirit
At the heart of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time beats a high-precision self-winding movement, crafted with utmost care and expertise by master watchmakers. With its chronometer-certified accuracy, this timepiece ensures that you never miss a beat, whether you’re navigating uncharted terrains, diving into the depths of the ocean, or simply exploring a new city. Every second counts, and the Zulu Time keeps you on track with the world’s most reliable timekeeping technology.
Beyond its exceptional performance, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time is an embodiment of elegance and sophistication. The sleek stainless steel case and refined design elements exude a timeless charm, making it a versatile accessory for both your outdoor escapades and formal occasions. Its luminous hands and markers enable easy readability even in low-light conditions, ensuring you stay on track throughout your adventures.
For globe-trotters and frequent travellers, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time offers a unique feature that sets it apart from standard watches: a dual-time zone function. The additional 24-hour scale allows you to keep track of time in two different time zones simultaneously. Aptly named after the military phonetic alphabet used to designate UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), the Zulu Time feature is indispensable for those traversing across continents, effortlessly switching between home time and local time.
Rugged Durability for the Toughest Expeditions
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time embodies the brand’s core values of tradition, elegance, and performance. Drawing inspiration from historical pilot watches, this modern masterpiece seamlessly blends the essence of the past with cutting-edge technology. With a proud heritage of over a century in watchmaking, Longines infuses the Spirit Zulu Time with the legacy of exploration and a commitment to excellence.
This 39mm version of the Spirit Zulu Time is probably a more suitable size for most wrists. Out of all the colour ways, my favourite is the Black dial with the gold hands and green bezel. It’s such a striking dial, it’s so well proportioned and balanced. The legibility is amazing and would great on any kind of strap. The leather strap option looks phenomenal, but it would easily work on a NATO if you want to dress it down.
Longines make such a great range of watches, there is something for everyone and this GMT Time model would be perfect for anyone travelling that may need another time zone.
I’m very tempted with this one, once I get hands on, it well may land up on a wish list.
