This 42mm stainless steel sports watch houses Longines' calibre L888.5, a self-winding movement beating at 25,200 vibrations per hour with a silicon balance-spring and 72-hour power reserve. The anthracite dial features GMT and date complications, along with Swiss Super-Lumi Nova luminescence for legibility in low light. A bidirectional ceramic bezel, screw-in crown, and 10 bar water resistance suit everyday wear and aquatic conditions. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal benefits from anti-reflective coating on both surfaces.
The stainless steel bracelet secures via a double-safety folding clasp with push-piece opening mechanism. This model continues Longines' dual time-zone heritage dating to 1925, when the original Zulu Time watch introduced the concept to aviators. The movement is COSC chronometer-certified and designed to resist magnetic field interference.
