A GMT watch is not just about adding a fourth hand on the dial. Its main function is to help users efficiently track time in two different time zones.

The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 1925 now arrives as a travel watch that not only features an elegant appearance but is also built with clear logic and functionality.
True GMT for Active Users
The Spirit Zulu Time 1925 uses a Flyer GMT system, a feature that allows you to adjust the local hour hand without disturbing the main time indicated by the GMT hand. For users who often cross time zones, this feature offers real practicality. You simply adjust the local time when you arrive at your destination without needing to reset the entire watch.
This distinguishes the watch from many other GMTs that use the Office GMT system, where only the GMT hand can be moved. The Spirit Zulu Time 1925 is developed for travelers, not just fans of the GMT look.
Historical Heritage in a Modern Design
The Spirit Zulu Time 1925 was launched to commemorate 100 years since Longines introduced its first dual time zone watch in 1925. This historical detail is translated into a functional and refined design. The 24-hour bezel rotates bi-directionally and is coated with 18-karat rose gold, serving as a marker element without losing the rugged impression of the 39 mm steel case.
The matte black dial is equipped with hour markers and hands layered in rose gold tone. At the bottom, there are inscriptions “Zulu Time” and “Chronometer,” along with five stars referencing Longines’ chronometer rating. Although it looks classic, the watch still appears modern and is ready to be worn in various travel situations.
Robust Movement with Open Caseback
Longines equips the watch with caliber L844.4, an exclusive automatic movement with COSC chronometer certification. This movement offers up to 72 hours of power reserve and uses a silicon balance spring for more stable accuracy.
For the first time in the Zulu Time line, the caseback is made transparent using sapphire crystal. The rotor is coated with rose gold PVD and engraved with meridian lines and a world map, providing a symbolic touch that reinforces the watch’s identity as a travel companion across time zones.
Not only that, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 1925 comes with two strap options: a steel bracelet and a black NATO fabric strap. Both can be swapped easily using a simple quick-release system. The watch is also water-resistant up to 100 meters, ensuring reliability in various conditions.
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 1925 is designed for users who want a GMT watch with real functionality, not just as an aesthetic element. This choice is ideal for professionals crossing time zones or anyone who desires a luxury watch with serious specifications and strong heritage.
With a retail price of USD 4,350 or approximately IDR 70,835,400, the Spirit Zulu Time 1925 offers a balance between elegant design, solid technology, and historical legacy that is relevant to modern needs.
