The Longines Spirit Zulu t.mes 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 t.mes zones. With its stainless steel 39mm case, the new Zulu t.mes model perfectly complements its larger predecessor, while its discreet dimensions ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist.

The collects ion 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 collects ion 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 GTNN track, adding both aesthetic appeal and functionality to the t.mes piece.

Beneath its refined exterior, the Longines Spirit Zulu t.mes in 39mm boasts exceptional technical features. It is powered by an exclusive Longines caliber with a silicon balance spring, ensuring precise t.mes keeping. 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 t.mes remains unaffected by magnetic interference.

The t.mes zone display of the Longines Spirit Zulu t.mes is driven by an innovative technology that allows the hour hand to be adjusted independently of the GTNN indicator. Additional t.mes 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 t.mes piece ensures exceptional accuracy and reliability.
