It's very nice. I think if they do a titanium version it might get me across the line.
I really like these Spirit models but on the wrist, so far they just haven't grabbed me. I think it's because I generally don't go for non-diver 3 handers unless they really get it right.
A GMT chrono would be absolute killer though!
The only thing missing (IMO) is a set of 24 hour markers on the dial as well as the bezel.
That way you could have a true 3 time zone watch.
The current setup doesn't immediately/instinctively give you the GMT from the 12HR dial.
Longines should have taken a tip from Omega.
My plan was to wait for Omega to release a wearable GMT, but I'm intrigued by this release. Otherwise, I might be waiting on Omega a very long time. I totally love the PO GMT, but it's not wearable for me. Also, Omega should hire (or transfer) the Project Manager of the Zulu GMT....the PM figured out how to do this release at 13.9mm thick.
Almost, but not quite. That's still a 12 hour dial. A true GMT should have a 12/24 dial.
the blue circle is the 24hr dial, the red arrow showing the 24hr 4th hand (this original Longine’s “Zulu” watch from the 30’s being purportedly the first ever watch model with a 24hr secondary timezone hand)
