Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Black : Longines GMT watch inspired by aviation
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Black draws inspiration from the house of Longines’ aviation history and its first double-time-zone timepiece presented in 1925. This Swiss automatic GMT watch lets you display multiple time zones thanks to its dedicated 24-hour hand.
The term “Zulu” refers to the universal time used in aviation. This collection combines legibility, chronometer accuracy, and ruggedness in a design directly inspired by cockpit instruments.
With its 42mm stainless-steel case and its two-way ceramic bezel, the Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Black blends modern elegance with professional functionality.
Design and features
The matte black dial provides excellent readability thanks to its applied Arabic numerals and its Swiss Super-LumiNova® coating. The hands with rose-gold-toned finishes add a refined contrast.
The sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective treatment improves visibility in all lighting conditions. The screw-down crown and water resistance up to 100m enhance its versatility for everyday use.
The stainless-steel bracelet fitted with a double-safety deployant clasp ensures comfort and secure fit. The Longines interchangeable system also makes it easy to change the strap.
Movement and performance
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Black houses the Longines L844.4 caliber, an automatic mechanical movement oscillating at 25’200 alternations per hour.
This caliber features a monocrystalline silicon balance spring that improves magnetic resistance and timekeeping stability. Its power reserve reaches up to 72 hours.
Each model benefits from COSC certification, attesting to its chronometer accuracy. The GMT function lets you track a second time zone with ease and efficiency.
