Longines SPIRIT ZULU TIME 1925

The watch is powered by the ETA-produced L844.4 automatic GMT movement, which is COSC chronometer certified and offers a 72-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback. Some reviewers flag the 13.5mm thickness as substantial, and the male endlinks may affect wearability on smaller wrists. The Longines SPIRIT ZULU TIME 1925 is priced at approximately $4,350 and includes a bracelet and an additional NATO strap. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines SPIRIT ZULU TIME 1925 highly for its refined vintage-inspired design and excellent finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Spirit Zulu Time 1925 features excellent finishing and a true GMT function. Reviewers questioned the value proposition due to the rose gold being a cap rather than solid.
