Longines and Hodinkee, renowned names in watchmaking, have joined forces to introduce the exclusive LONGINES SPIRIT ZULU TIME limited series, entirely crafted from Grade 5 titanium. This new tool watch, boasting a 39mm diameter, combines lightweight construction, bold design, and cutting-edge precision certified by COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).
To conclude the year on a high note, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time dons a titanium finish. Limited to 500 numbered pieces, this edition of the acclaimed GMT model, part of the Longines Spirit collection since 2022, offers a perfect blend of elegance and innovation.
The watch pays homage to the 1925 Longines wristwatch with dual time zones, featuring the Zulu flag on its dial. Named after the letter Z denoting universal time for aviators and armed forces, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time Limited Edition for Hodinkee seamlessly combines watchmaking tradition and modernity.
Crafted from Grade 5 titanium, an alloy lighter and tougher than steel, the 39mm case provides an understated, elegant design and remarkable wearer comfort. The screw-down back bears the engraved name and number of each piece, while the bi-directional, circular-brushed titanium bezel showcases a laser-engraved 24-hour scale.
Powered by the exclusive Longines L844.4 calibre, equipped with a silicon balance-spring and innovative components, the watch offers magnetic resistance ten times greater than the ISO 764 benchmark standard. With a power reserve of up to 72 hours, the movement is COSC-certified for precision.
The sand-blasted anthracite dial, topped by a domed sapphire crystal, features applied hour-markers and Arabic numerals in polished PVD-titanium. Super LumiNova® coating on these components ensures optimal legibility, with the GMT hand having an orange tip. Water-resistant to 10 bar (100 meters), the timepiece comes with a Grade 5 titanium bracelet and a double-safety folding clasp.
This limited edition marries craftsmanship, innovation, and style, making it a collector’s choice for enthusiasts seeking both tradition and modernity in a timepiece.
