At the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, time begins. Not in a literal sense, of course—physicists can’t quite seem to agree on what time even is. But for all intents and purposes, this location determines how we all measure time, as it is the time zone UTC+00:00.
So it’s no understatement to say that Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) watches are inextricably bound to our concept of time. And perhaps this explains why GMT watches are some of the most highly sought after in the world—and some of the most expensive intro-level watches, too.
The new Longines Spirit Zulu watch is changing that just a bit at a time, offering a genuine GMT watch for an agreeable price near $3,000. It’s a truly gorgeous aviator’s watch with COSC chronometer certifications and a bi-directional ceramic bezel, and quite possibly the best GMT watch to hit the market in years.
