First introduced in a 42mm case last year, this pilot\u2019s watch family is a tribute to the brand\u2019s first GMT timepiece born in 1925. For those, who are not familiar with the term, \u201cZulu time\u201d&nbsp;is the military name for UTC and is used primarily in aviation, at sea, and in other military settings.&nbsp;It is also displayed on the watch face, alongside with the five stars that symbolize highest quality at Longines.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/longines-drops-new-executions-of-the-spirit-zulu-time-in-39mm-case.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-149985\" width=\"818\" height=\"1500\"><\/figure>\n<p>This year, the collection welcomes new executions in downsized 39mm cases. From lug to lug, the dual-time newcomers measure 21mm and are 13.50mm in height. They are available with a matte black, sandblasted anthracite, or sunray blue dial with a date window centered at the 6 o\u2019clock position.&nbsp;The flagship of the collection sports an 18K yellow gold bezel and a chocolate brown ceramic insert with a gilt GMT track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2625\" src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/longines-drops-new-executions-of-the-spirit-zulu-time-in-39mm-case-1.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-149984\"><\/figure>\n<p>An exclusive Longines caliber with a silicon balance-spring is at the heart of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time. The brand has also updated two components which, like the silicon balance-spring, are made of anti-magnetic material. This allows for an anti-magnetic resistance certification according to the ISO764 standard, with resistance to fields of 600 to 800 gauss ensured.&nbsp;The self-winding movement, which ticks behind a closed and engraved case back, has a power reserve of 72 hours and is chronometer-certified by the COSC. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/longines-drops-new-executions-of-the-spirit-zulu-time-in-39mm-case-2.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-149995\" width=\"818\" height=\"1500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Pricing for the Longines Zulu Time 39mm starts at $3,050 for the stainless-steel variants with a leather or fabric strap and at $4,200 for the two-tone executions.
