Longines proudly introduces the SPIRIT ZULU TIME 1925 Pioneer Series World Time Zone 100th Anniversary Watch, showcasing the brand's century-long expertise in multi-time zone watchmaking and commemorating the 100th anniversary of Longines' first ZULU TIME dual time zone watch in 1925.This commemorative edition features a 39mm stainless steel case adorned with exquisite 18K rose gold, a bi-directional rotating bezel with a frosted matte inlay (a first for this series), and a 24-hour scale that allows the wearer to set a third time zone.
Carefully engraved numbers and scales add a sense of depth and high quality to the design, while the use of copper-containing rose gold pays homage to the copper line embedded in the floor of the Royal Greenwich Observatory established 350 years ago, marking the Prime Meridian.The matte black dial contrasts sharply with the rose gold hands and indices, ensuring excellent legibility. Elegant details include five stars positioned above the 6 o'clock mark, a discreet date window, and a tasteful "1925 – 2025" engraving celebrating the centenary, enhancing the dial's uniqueness and commemorative value.
Additionally, two new design features debuting in the Zulu Time Pioneer Series World Time Zone watch include a transparent case back and a rose gold-colored rotor, adorned with a special engraved celestial chart, uniquely depicting the Prime Meridian crossing through the center of the celestial chart.
Launched in 2022, Longines' Pioneer Series Zulu Time watches are a testament to the brand's century-long expertise in world traveler timepieces. The series draws inspiration and its name from the first dual time zone watch created in 1925, "Zulu Time," which features iconic maritime signal flags, combining the letter "Z" with numeral flags to indicate time.
