This exceptional timepiece pays homage to the world’s greatest pioneers and their remarkable expeditions. Loved by watch aficionados worldwide, it represents Longines’ pioneering role in the development of watches with multiple time zones.
A Perfect Blend of Style and Comfort
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm comes encased in stainless steel, perfectly complementing its larger counterpart. Its discreet dimensions ensure exceptional wearer comfort, measuring 21mm from lug to lug and with a case thickness of 13.50mm. The timepiece is available in three dial options: a matte black, sandblasted anthracite, or sunray blue, all featuring a centered date window at 6 o’clock. The bezel boasts a colored ceramic insert, while the highlight of the collection exhibits an 18K yellow gold bi-directional rotating bezel and crown with a chocolate brown ceramic insert and gilt GMT track. These exquisite design details enhance the watch’s aesthetics and warmth.
Elevated Vintage Appeal
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time in 39mm embraces its vintage roots with thoughtful design touches. The anthracite sandblasted dial showcases a date aperture with beige numerals, complemented by hands and Arabic numerals coated with Super-LumiNova® old radium. This combination evokes a nostalgic ambiance, accentuating the watch’s timeless elegance.
Unmatched Versatility
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm offers exceptional versatility with interchangeable options. It can be paired with a stainless steel bracelet, a brown NATO strap exclusive to this model, or a brown leather strap with contrasting cream stitching. The inclusion of a fine adjustment system enhances the overall wearability, allowing you to tailor the watch to your individual style.
Heritage and Innovation Converge
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time in 39mm stands at the crossroads of traditional watchmaking and innovation, showcasing the brand’s century-old expertise. Its name and origins trace back to the first Longines dual-time zone wristwatch produced in 1925, featuring the Zulu flag on its dial.
Uncompromising Performance
Powered by an exclusive Longines calibre with a silicon balance-spring, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time guarantees accuracy and reliability. Two components made of anti-magnetic material, including the balance-spring, ensure the watch’s resistance to magnetism according to the ISO764 standard. With a resistance to magnetic fields ranging from 600 to 800 gauss, this timepiece remains unaffected by the magnetic forces encountered in our daily lives. The hour hand can be adjusted independently of the GMT indicator, and additional time zones can be read using the 24-hour hand and bidirectional rotating bezel. The movement boasts a power reserve of 72 hours and is chronometer-certified by COSC, a testament to Longines’ commitment to impeccable quality.
Embrace the Spirit of Exploration
For nearly a century, Longines has accompanied and adorned the wrists of the world’s most remarkable explorers, supporting their conquests in the air, sea, and land. Now, with the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm, you have the opportunity to follow in their footsteps. This timepiece will be your perfect travel companion, embodying the spirit of adventure and the legacy of Longines.
