ANNIVERSARY EDITION
To celebrate the hundred years of the first-ever wristwatch that displayed two time zones, the winged-hourglass brand center stages an exclusive commemorative edition.
And, just like with the previous models rolled out since the collection was launched in 2022, the design of Longines‘ Spirit Zulu Time 1925 epitomizes up-to-the-minute elegance infused with the firm’s rich heritage. The 39 mm-diameter stainless steel case hosts a bidirectional rotating bezel, topped for the first time ever with a brushed, 18-karat rose gold insert. This bona fide travel watch invites to read a third time zone thanks to its 24-hour scale. The inlaid numerals are super-sharp, relief-style, and the mat black dial contrasts with the rose gold hands and markers topped with white Super-LumiNova® that ensures optimal readability no matter the conditions of light. The signature five stars at 6 o’clock frame a subtly-integrated date display, just above a discreet inscription: 1925 – 2025. This tone-on-tone engraving reiterates the historic relevance of this edition.
The transparent caseback reveals another exclusivity: a rose gold-colored PVD oscillating weight decorated with a map of the world crossed by the Greenwich Meridian Line – a visual accolade to the main theme running through the whole collection. Self-winding Caliber L844.4 beats inside this watch. Its silicon balance-spring means it’s ten times more resistant to magnetic fields than required by the ISO 764 standard. Its accuracy is, as per usual, COSC-certified, a gauge of absolute reliability. The Spirit Zulu Time 1925 is worn on a stainless steel bracelet closed by a double-safety folding clasp ensuring superb comfort and fit. It also comes complete with a black NATO textile alternative, clasped by a pin buckle, for a more casual yet still ever-so fancy look. This anniversary timepiece is presented in a special-edition box, fashioned to highlight the watch’s symbolic uniqueness.
