The design, the feel, the functionality, the weight…worth every single cent for the value that comes with it.

I also have the Spirit Chrono, bought it last year at Longines Boutique Ala Moana mall. Went back two days ago and it was offered by Kenny L. I got the green with brown leather.

[@robertbeardslee2919]

In my opinion Longines has done the impossible on this watch. With all that you get for the $3000 US dollars they even go one step further and make band interchange as easy as push buttons. This is a crucial feature in my watch purchases and something most watch manufacturing companies don't do even Omega and they should. You are not going to go for a swim with your leather band on. Hence the need for the bracelet and the interchangeability to the leather band. Longines offers this package on their Spirit prestige line with three band choices in the box. BRILLANT! Even the Omega Globemaster does not have this feature and I wish it did. Stay the course Longines you are doing it right. Don't wait for a Rolex GMT and save yourself a lot of money and get this watch instead.

[@atoast9768]

It's fantastic and I hope Longines builds in the direction of this watch - Si/COSC movement, good date window placement, focus on fewer iconic designs. Really excited for the future of the brand.. I hope they bring out more annual calendar watches in particular

[@WatchAdvisor]

Longines is on the move… the brand later this year will surprise you again and again…

[@simonw2750]

It's very good to see that Swatch Group has finally cottoned on to the enormous advantages that the Longines name still has, after a long period when it had moved from being one of the absolute prestige names in Swiss watches to being perceived more in the lower-tier luxury bracket at best. This 'Spirit' range in its entirety is a genuine attempt to recapture some of that lost ground at least, with COSC standard movements I believe across the line, and the high-quality finishing, combined with a genuine touch of class that was always associated with the Longines watches of a long time ago. This particular GMT watch, I think, is a really good proposition at the higher end of GMTs, and with its history in aviation watches - second to none at all - I would think it should do extremely well. Also, by the way, this new product development guy clearly knows what he's doing in his plans to resuscitate luxury proposition idea in the brand and I hope he succeeds. Good video as well.

Speaking for myself, Longines are the new Omega. I expect Omega probably have superior movements but this Spirit line fill a gap Omega have discarded for the average guy in the street.

I'm a blue collar manual worker and spend my hard earned money with caution but still want that good quality product.

[@robertfeast7691]

Gorgeous looking watch. Great add to the Spirit line.

[@robertlock6041]

I'm really impressed with this watch so far, but as always we need to see it at the AD and check the quality. The blue option has my name on it, and I feel that this watch looks particularly good on the strap. Whether the movement is as good as the current version of the MT 5652 remains to be seen. Certainly the Tudor doesn't have the 24 hour hand wobble when adjusting the time zone (check the Hodinkee video) so Longines really needs to address this.

Very nice, I want a GMT and at this price point it's hard to beat Longines for quality and value. Already have the blue Spirit 40mm so tempted by the green bezel GMT. Updated bracelet looks great but think I'd go for a strap.

[@andy773]

Dear all, thanks for the presentation, a truly nice watch, but please stop talking about true or not true GMT . If you buy a GMT watch it’s because you want and need to to see the GMT time , the way you are presenting the watch has nothing to do with GMT but simply reading two time zones by moving the hour hand . Now every diver (60 min scale ( every 5min = 1 h ) or 12 h bezel can do the job by simply rotating the bezel . The meaning of having a GMT watch is to have GMT as reference time on the GMT hand ! My navigation instructor back in 1990 when I did my ATPL training was a certain Harry Hoffman , a famous navigator from Swissair , he was wearing a Longine 24h watch, a watch designed for Swissair navigators . That said without going into details for navigational purposes you need to have a reference time and that is GMT / UTC / Z , the aircraft clocks always show UTC . As a pilot you will set the 24 h hand on UTC and the regular hour hand to your local time since you always want to know what time it is at home not only for family reasons but also to keep your circadian cycle as close as possible to your home time especially on short layovers . Once landed just rotate the bezel to GMT or UTC or Z to plus or minus the UTC time you are ( eg Toronto UTC -4 ) and read the local time on the GMT hand , home time stays always the same on your watch, if you bring the 24 reference again over the 12 o’clock position you read again GMT . There is absolutely no need to open the crown and move any hour hand except for summer and winter time changes. This month I have been in Tokyo, Istanbul, Almaty, Toronto still have to go Dubai and Houston …I am a Cpt B777 with 22000 flight hours and I don’t know how many times I flew around the world , for sure many …and if I decide to buy this watch it’s certainly not because of its “true” function because my not true one does the same job …I share the enthusiasm you bring on your watch shows and I also understand that 99 % of GMT watch buyers will never use GMT but please don’t talk about UTC if don’t know what it actually is and what it is there for Kind regards Andy

[@WatchAdvisor]

Andy, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Interesting read... Everyone has its own approach and uses his watch the way he thinks is best... The Spirit Zulu Time offers a lot of comfort for a frequent traveler/jet-setter and this is exactly what I pointed out... And you must know that there are many other models who claim to be a GMT/UTC watch and they are simply not. Why? Once your calibre stops when setting the new local time there is something wrong... This is why years ago Rolex improved its calibre, set the new standard and presented the GMT-Master II ...

[@andy773]

Dear friend, I agree , everybody can use his watch the way it wants , you can buy a dive watch and never go diving , and you can buy a GMT watch without setting GMT , most people buy a watch for the feeling it gives them and that is just fine. I know about the Rolex GMT master ll , I have one as well that I bought back in 1995 … but guess what, it is a GMT watch because it has a 24h hand to be set on GMT ( like the Longines 24h was set on GMT for navigational purposes) . Because in aviation everything runs on UTC, North Atlantic Tacks are active between 01-08 UTC eastbound at 30 degrees west and between 1130-1900 UTC westbound at 30 west , a flight is schedule according UTC , position checks are made and UTC time recorded , traffic separation is made according Mach number and time and so on…. As I said the 24 hand is set to GMT , true or not true watch that doesn’t matter because after landing you just rotate the bezel and read your local time on the 24 h hand while the watch always shows home time . And that is the fun and cool part of these watches id est that you never have to adjust time (on the contrary what you were showing) , you never have open the crown , you just rotate the bezel to plus or minus gmt the time zone you are in ep ipso it doesn’t matter if the watch is true or not as long as the 24h hand is set to gmt (that is what it’s there for) because by simply rotating the bezel you can read the local time . But of course you can do what you want but it is just doesn’t make sense to me to talk about a gmt watch without using it correctly and actually making things more complicated then they are by opening the crown and move around the hour hand when the only thing you have to do is rotating the bezel . Anyway no hard feelings , I like your presentations anyway . My kindest regards

[@WatchAdvisor]

Your purposes are different than the ones who also travel, but aren't changing zone-times so often... When I travel, I prefer to see local time on my watch and to have a reference telling me home-time ... So the basic idea of the Rolex GMT-Master II is the concept to have... Important though is that the movement doesn't stop when you make any adjustments... By the way, this is a watch you might like... www.iwc.com/us/en/watch-collections/pilot-watches/iw395001-pilot_s-watch-timezoner-chronograph.html I reviewed another version of it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2Gae4x3hN-De8k Have a look and let me know act you think...

Excellent introduction to a very enjoyable watch. I have one. Note that the camera boosts the green of the ceramic bezel. In person, the bezel is a darker green that integrates with the anthracite face perfectly, showing the green but without shouting it. In bright sunlight the bezel becomes more prominent but still nicely balanced to the overall watch. Truly well executed watch. I checked the timing - mine is running at +2 sec per day or better; well within spec. Very happy with this watch.

Excellent as usual WA! Longines is moving upmarket. Very well executed piece...in the modern Longines Pantheon with the BigEye and titanium Spirit pilot watch!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Longines in fact is moving upmarket… there is more to come… you will like these watches…

[@jlarsson1978]

Again an awesome video, thanks! And what a fantastic release from Longines! Sooo hard to choose color 😀

Oh my word do love this watch,like the power reserve and how the lollipop second had is on the seconds track,lovely.

Don’t forget the incredible all over quality, the silicon hairspring and all that for less than 3000 Euro…

Outstanding review! I ordered the Anthracite on bracelet. The Blue dial is stunning, however, and a very close second. Might have to get both! Thank you for the entertaining and informative analysis. Cheers!

I would easily pay a thousand more for a titanium case and bracelet, Master Chronometer certification, and a "**** you" black and red laquered aluminum bezel. Longines is on one! Thanks for the vid Alex!

I'm a big guy being 6'4 with a 7.1 inch wrist, and I've been in the market for a gmt. Either this or the Tudor GMT. But I have to say, as an aviator, this one speaks to me. And I wouldn't have to worry about date issues right off the bat. I like that it's 1mm bigger than the BB GMT as well

Love at first sight with the Zulu time (green) but we're not meant to be together because it's 42mm. i hope they'll make one in sub 40mm.

[@WatchAdvisor]

I don't expect Longines to offer a smaller size ... it is meant to be a watch with excellent readability...

[@chickenporkadob0]

@@WatchAdvisor i see. i hope they'll make smaller version with the same colour scheme. I'd buy that. p.s. they made a 37mm. maybe they can put bezel there with the colour of green zulu but without gmt. that'll look great. anyhow i really like the watch. lol

Awesome Zulu watch for the price. Should sell both bracelet and strap as a combo.

You can buy each separately and exchange them yourself…

[@davidzed7952]

Lovely new watch from Longines. Just a little bit too thick for my wrist. But I'm sure that there will be a target audience for this watch! Thanks for the awesome video Alexander!

[@WatchAdvisor]

You are very welcome! Try the Zulu Time on your wrist, you probably will like it since it really wears good…

[@damelicious]

I love this watch. I visited AD, tried the black one on leather strap. Tried the Anthracite on bracelet. Buying decision: Anthracite on leather strap + additional bracelet. Now I got to wait 3-4 weeks for my order. Apparently this watch is so popular they can't produce it fast enough xD My only complain so far is that they don't offer both strap+bracelet in a set, so that the box can store either one, which is not used at the time.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Good choice! Congratulations! Anticipation is the greatest joy… 😉 Please share some thoughts with us once you got your Zulu Time…

[@kevinranders]

@@WatchAdvisor Purchased yesterday from my AD. Longines has been capturing me lately. Also picked up the Bronze/Green Legend Diver a few weeks ago.

[@johnvsbear4247]

That watch is unbeatable in its price bracket and many thousand franks above. For me personally i‘d like to see a version similar to the titanium spirit three hander.

[@WatchAdvisor]

In titanium… that would be gorgeous indeed… 👍🏻

[@Watchmeifyoucan]

Really nice watch - Tudor is getting a real competition here ;) Thanks for the video… one thing tho I really hate the five stars on the dial…

[@WatchAdvisor]

Tudor is NOT getting one, Tudor already has one… and a tough one on top…

[@Watchmeifyoucan]

@@WatchAdvisor true but that tough one on top is bloody hard to get :)

[@anthonystevens8683]

Thankyou Alexander and Giuseppe for showing these new pieces. The repositioning of the date to the six position works brilliantly for symmetry. These will certainly be on my list to look at at the AD at some point. Longines continue to impress with the models being released. I cannot make a choice as to my favourite colour combination until I see them in life but from this video the blue would be my preference by a whisker with the others tied a very close second. That on the fly strap adjustment might well sway me as well. A 48 click bezel would have been nice for those cities that do not have a full hour differential from Zulu time though given that I work with some countries that have a 1/2 hour offset. Thank you again both for sharing.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Very good input with the 48 clicks! Didn’t think about it… That’s something I’ll pass on to Giuseppe for sure…

[@johnyu88]

Amazing work by Longines. The new movement is a triumph. If they make it 40mm and this would be insta-buy for me (and looking at the large gap between the date window and the bezel, I'd say it would be a straightforward resizing exercise). Go eat Rolex's and Tudor's lunch...! 😉

[@WatchAdvisor]

You should still try it on your wrist… the size is perfect and it fitted perfectly on my 17 cm / 6,7 in wrist…

[@johnyu88]

@@WatchAdvisor That's great to hear! My wrist is closer to 16cm, so will still hold final judgement until I try it on. Thanks for all your great work!

I saw these in on IG earlier. The blue dial is my favorite of the trio. 👌

[@perosa99]

Beautiful watches. On strap it looks perfect. The brazalete’s clasp is large and clunky appearing. I think that was a missed opportunity. I agree, I would wear it with the leather strap or look for an alternative on the brazalete/ clasp.

[@mkyhou1160]

Tudor need to take notes, I’m very tempted by this. Probably the blue, but the green is a beauty too.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Tudor is aware of Longines! 😜

[@philj.9174]

As a Rolex fan and owner I already have the new left-hand GMT on order, but in the meantime I have to get one of these. Ceramic bezel and a good looking bracelet. Much better then the Tudor GMT which is to thick, has an outdated aluminum bezel and damn I hate the bracelets with the fake rivets.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Which one will you probably choose?

[@philj.9174]

From what I have seen on pics and video it would be the blue one, love the dial an the orange hand. Would get it with the bracelet, but I think I would mostly wear it with a black leather strap. Have to see it in real life to be sure.

[@billcore6295]

These are very nice watches ⌚ 👌. Well done Longines!!!! Great 📹 🎥 video. I prefer the leather strap. It has the quick change date like the Omega AT, I have one and like this function

[@Superstar49173]

Hi Alexandre, as usual amazing in depth review. In a previous video, you said that Longines shoud compete with Tudor. In terms of quality, is this zulutime quality is on a par with the tudor gmt ?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Of course it is! Just compare the watches side by side and you will know… in terms of the calibre used I would say the ETA powering the Longines is the better one…
