Today, Longines has launched its all-new Spirit Zulu Time GMT watches! Designed for travellers and watch enthusiasts alike, these latest models build on the brand’s rich history of pioneering multi-time zone watches, first introduced in 1925. With upgraded materials, refined details, and enhanced functionality, the new Spirit Zulu Time GMT watches deliver both elegance and utility; proving that Longines continues to soar at the intersection of tradition and innovation. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the features of these new watches and what makes them truly special. Let’s dive in!
Core Features of the All-New Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT Watches
While the colour and some materials of the watches differ, the design elements remain consistent across the entire launch. Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, with several layers of anti-reflective coating on both sides, each watch features a dial with a sleek and streamlined look. Applied Arabic numerals and luminous hands enhance visibility, while the date aperture at 6 o’clock adds both function and flair. Each dial also features a GMT hand, which allows the wearer to track a second time zone. Framing each dial is a stainless steel case, a bidirectional rotating bezel and a screw-in crown. Not only do these details enhance the practicality of the watches, but they also add to the aviation-inspired design.
Within each case lies a Longines L844 calibre automatic movement. With a monocrystalline silicon balance-spring and a 72-hour power reserve, it ensures reliable and precise timekeeping. The design of these new models concludes with a stainless steel bracelet. Moreover, each watch is water-resistant up to 100 metres, making it suitable for daily wear and special occasions alike.

The watch is encased in a 39mm stainless steel case and framed by a bidirectional rotating bezel, enriched with an 18k pink gold cap 200 insert that contrasts beautifully against the black dial.
