Longines has revealed a new, smaller version of its Spirit Zulu Time, with its case diameter shrunk from 42mm to 39mm.
This makes thewatchmore accessible than ever, with 39mm timepieces increasingly popular in recent years among both men and women. Where a 42mm watch can appear overly large on many wrists, at 39mm we think the new Longines will attract a larger audience, while suiting the current trend for smaller stainless steel timepieces.
The watch is otherwise the same as before. This means it has a 24-hour scale on a bidirectional rotating ceramic bezel and an additional hand that points at the hour in a second time zone, making the watch a great option for frequent travellers who want to keep an eye on the time back home.
The Spirit Zulu Time 39mm is available with dial and bezel colour options of black, blue and green, with stainless steel bracelets, NATO straps and leather straps with contrast stitching also available. The flagship of the range pairs a brown dial and bezel with 18K yellow gold numerals and the outside edge of the bezel finished in the same precious metal.

Longines has used ‘old radium’ Super-LumiNova for the hands and Arabic numerals to give the watch a vintage feel when illuminated at night.
