The Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm L3.812.4.53.6 is a standout timepiece that brings together the brand’s legacy of precision with cutting-edge technology for the modern traveler. Designed for those who demand both style and performance, this watch boasts a 42mm stainless steel case that offers a bold, yet refined aesthetic. The black dial is enhanced by luminous hands and markers, ensuring clear readability in any lighting condition, while the rotating 24-hour bezel adds versatility, allowing for easy tracking of multiple time zones. This model is particularly well-suited for those who frequently travel or need to monitor global time, making it an essential accessory for jet-setters.
At the heart of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm L3.812.4.53.6 lies a powerful Swiss automatic movement, the L888.4, which ensures precision and reliability. The movement is equipped with a 72-hour power reserve, ensuring your watch stays running even when you're not wearing it. What sets this timepiece apart is its Zulu time function, which allows the wearer to track a second time zone easily using the 24-hour bezel. The watch is also water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for daily wear, including swimming and light diving, without compromising its sleek design. The screw-down crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal further enhance its durability and functionality.

Testimonials

Not your typical pretentious jewellery store or AD for watches, I walk in often chat with the sales people, look at watches with zero pressure or snobbery. They are open and inviting, all which encouraged me now to purchase from them as well. Can't go wrong.

Customer service received was excellent. They took the time to answer all of my questions and show me a fair amount of watches before I made my decision. Opted to buy two watches after a fair negotiation and left feeling very happy with my decision to shop at Golden Tree.

My favourite luxury watch retail store in the Lower Mainland. Bob, Aavis and their staff are very knowledgeable, patient and caring for their customers. I visit them multiple times a month when I am in the mall and they engage me regardless of me buying a watch or not. I've bought two watches from them and look forward to buying more. Highly recommend you visit them if you love watches or are curious about what to buy next for yourself or your loved ones.
