7 Months Later: Is The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39 Still One Of The Best Value GMT Watches?

I love GMT watches whether they are flyer GMTs or caller GMTs. I've owned a bunch of them including the Rolex Explorer II, Tudor Black Bay Pro, Seiko SSK GMT, and more from Grand Seiko, Zodiac, and Traska. Then last year, Longines released the much anticipated 39mm version of the Spirit Zulu Time so I knew that I had to get one because it essentially fixed the issues that many folks had with the BB Pro, namely the lack of a rotatable bezel and the thick case.

Now that I have owned the Spirit Zulu Time 39 for 7 months, I’ve really come to understand the watch more. In the end, I still really like this watch and it’s easily one of the most impressive value propositions I’ve seen in the watch world.

So in this video I’m going to talk about 3 things I love about it and 2 things I don't like about it, and one of those reasons is partly why it's now officially for sale but mainly it’s because I’m obsessed with my titanium Spirit Zulu Time 39 and I can't justify owning both. But anyways, enjoy.


—FOR SALE—
My Longines SZT is for sale for $2,300! The price is based on the lowest recent sale price found on watchcharts.com check out the information for yourself in this link below. I priced the watch at $2,300 because I want to make the transaction as simple as possible by just offering the lowest price from the start. Naturally, the price is firm.

As you can see from the video the watch is absolutely clean and it comes with Longines’ 5 year warranty and it comes with Hodinkee’s extra year of warranty. Box and papers included. Pretty sure I’ve got the stickers that were on the watch as well lol.

If you’d like to purchase, send me an email at [email protected] with your shipping zip code so that I can get a shipping quote. I will take care of the first $50 of shipping costs. Most of the time that means free shipping for you!
