Spirit Zulu Time 39mm
Longines · £3,000
Nice, but provisional
An automatic GMT in a 39mm case, which is the size most people actually want and the complication most people actually use. A second time zone earns its keep if you travel or work across one, and does nothing at all if you do not. At £3,000 it sits at the ceiling of what this site covers, and the Hamilton at a third of the price tells the time just as well.
- For
- Someone who genuinely works across time zones and wants one watch that shows both.
- Not for
- Anyone who does not, for whom the GMT hand is decoration at a considerable price.
What we checked
- It is powered by an automatic movement in a 39mm case with 100m water resistance. Beaverbrooks
- The black dial carries steel hands and hour markers with a date window at six. Beaverbrooks
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
