The Longines Spirit Zulu Time collection made quite a splash in 2022. Building upon this success, Longines has now expanded its popular Spirit Zulu Time collection with the introduction of the new 39mm models. These new watches offer a smaller size option for those who prefer a more compact timepiece while maintaining the same classic design and functionality as the larger 42mm versions.
The most apparent update in the Spirit Zulu Time 39mm is its case dimensions. At 39mm, it is notably smaller than the original 42mm models, catering to collectors seeking a more modest size without compromising style. The bidirectional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale and ceramic insert, as well as the retro-slanted aesthetic, remain unchanged. The 39mm Spirit Zulu Time watches are available in four different versions: matte black, sandblasted anthracite, sunray blue, and a bi-metallic model with a gold bezel and crown. All four models feature a bidirectional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale, as well as a date window at 6 o’clock. The Longines L844.4 COSC-certified automatic movement powers the watches with 25,200 vph (3.5 Hz) frequency and 72-hour power reserve.
The 39mm Spirit Zulu Time watches come on either a leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. The leather strap is available in black, brown, or blue, while the stainless steel bracelet is available in polished or satin finish.
The new 39mm Spirit Zulu Time watches are priced starting at 3,050USD. They are available now at Longines retailers worldwide.
