The design of the Hodinkee x Longines Spirit Zulu Time watch is a nod to its illustrious history. The watch traces its lineage back to the first Longines wristwatch with dual time zones, crafted in 1925.
The historical connection is elegantly reflected in the watch's aesthetics. Each piece has its name and number engraved on the screw-down back, adding a personal touch to the watch.
Additionally, it features a bi-directional, circular-brushed titanium bezel. The bezel is accentuated with a laser-engraved 24-hour scale, enhancing visual appeal and functionality. The use of titanium extends beyond mere aesthetics; it contributes to the watch's resilience and longevity.
Innovative Movement
At the heart of the Hodinkee x Longines Spirit Zulu Time watch lies the Longines L844.4 caliber. This movement is notable for its precision and durability. It incorporates a silicon balance spring and components that provide magnetic resistance 10 times greater than the ISO 764 benchmark standard.
The technical prowess ensures that the watch remains reliable in various magnetic environments.
The watch's face is a testament to Longines' attention to detail. It features a sand-blasted anthracite dial, offering a sleek and contemporary look. The dial is complemented by a date window at 3 o’clock, enhancing its practicality. Covering the dial is a domed sapphire crystal, known for its scratch-resistant properties, ensuring the watch retains its pristine appearance over time.
