Is the Longines Spirit Zulu Time a true GMT?

Yes. The central GMT hand is set independently, and the bi-directional bezel tracks a third time zone.

How long is the power reserve?

About 72 hours on a full wind, so it can rest a weekend and keep running.

Yes. The L844.4 movement is COSC-certified, and the dial carries the chronometer marking.

It is rated to 100 meters with a screw-in crown, so swimming is fine, though the leather strap is not ideal for water.

How does it compare with the standard Spirit?

The Zulu Time adds a GMT function, a 24-hour bezel and a longer-reserve movement over the three-hand Spirit.

Owners rate it highly, praising the chronometer movement, the long power reserve and the legible blue dial. The main complaints are the case thickness and the size on smaller wrists.

About the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Men's Watch

The Longines Spirit Zulu Time is a 42mm men's dress watch with a blue dial and a blue calfskin leather strap. The case is brushed stainless steel with a bi-directional rotating bezel, a screw-in crown and an engraved case back. The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire.

The dial has luminous silver-tone hands and Arabic numeral hour markers. A central GMT hand, minute markers around the outer rim and a date window at 6 o'clock complete the layout. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet).

It is powered by the Swiss automatic Longines Caliber L844.4, a chronometer movement with a power reserve of about 72 hours. Functions include date, 24-hour, power reserve, hour, minute and second. The strap closes with a brushed stainless steel deployment clasp with push button.
