Celebrating over a century of expertise in measuring time across multiple time zones.

As one of the most sought-after actors of his generation, Henry Cavill&rsquo;s life is characterized by constant motion &mdash; transforming from a caped crusader to a global-trotting spy, moving between historical film locations and glamorous red carpets. With every new role and script comes shifts in timelines and time zones. To stay grounded amidst all the demanding transitions, Cavill relies on a timepiece that threads the many worlds he inhabits &mdash; the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 1925.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">A Century of Heritage and Ingenuity</h4>

Marking the centennial of Longines&rsquo; first dual time zone wristwatch, this commemorative piece is more than a nod to the brand&rsquo;s history &mdash; it&rsquo;s a symbol that embodies a hundred years of horological innovation and enduring legacy that helped shape global timekeeping. First introduced in 1925, the Swiss maison&rsquo;s original &ldquo;Zulu Time&rdquo; model pioneered the groundbreaking function of tracking multiple time zones on a single dial. With this, it quickly became an indispensable companion for aviators, explorers, and visionaries navigating an increasingly connected society.&nbsp;

Today, the Spirit Zulu Time 1925 continues that mission &mdash; guiding a new generation of travellers and storytellers across borders and narratives in the modern world. Among them is Longines&rsquo; Ambassador of Elegance, Henry Cavill, who fronts the brand&rsquo;s latest campaign that asks: &ldquo;What time is it there?&rdquo; A simple yet intimate question that serves as a reminder of what a timepiece truly measures &mdash; connection across time and space.

&ldquo;For me, the Spirit Zulu Time represents not only precision time keeping, but also connection,&rdquo; Cavill shares. &ldquo;In today&rsquo;s lifestyle, our loved ones and colleagues can often be a world away. However, the Spirit Zulu Time gives me, at a glance, that immediate connection with them, and it does so with the elegance that Longines excels at.&rdquo;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Inside the Timepiece</h4>

The Spirit Zulu Time 1925 brings traditional watchmaking sophistication to contemporary form. It is encased in a 39-mm stainless-steel case framed with a bidirectional rotating bezel in 18k rose gold &mdash; a first in the line. The engraved 24-hour scale allows tracking a third time zone, making the model more functional as it is exquisite.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Set against the matte black dial, it creates an understated contrast to the luminous rose gold hands that are treated with Super-LumiNova&reg; for optimal readability. Beneath the six o&rsquo;clock dial, the five star insignia stands as Longines&rsquo; symbol of excellence, while the modest &ldquo;1925 &ndash; 2025&rdquo; inscription beneath reflects the watch&rsquo;s history and timeless innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Under its refined exterior, this timepiece runs on the exclusive Longines calibre L844.4 &mdash; a COSC-certified, self-winding movement with a silicon balance spring and superior magnetic resistance that claims to be ten times higher than the ISO standards. It is also equipped with a 72-hours power reserve that ensures long-lasting performance.&nbsp;

The transparent caseback also gives spotlight to a rose-gold-tone rotor etched with a globe intersected by the meridian &mdash; a reference to the Royal Observatory at Greenwich which is the historic starting point of global timekeeping. It is also complemented with two straps &mdash; a timeless stainless steel and a versatile black NATO &mdash; that comes in a commemorative special box.

Alongside this centennial edition, Longines is also introducing new additions to the Spirit Zulu Time collection &mdash; distinguished by striking blue ceramic and sleek black bezels, available in both 39mm and 42mm cases. Each model is meticulously crafted for individuals who move through the world with meaning and refinement.&nbsp;

In a world where connection matters more than ever, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 1925 is more than just a watch &mdash; it&rsquo;s a timepiece that stands as a witness to the ever-evolving history and legacy of the brand. From 1925 until today, Longines continues on creating pieces that not only tell time but also stories &mdash; whether worn by an on-the-go actor, a jet-setting business professional, or just someone simply reaching out to someone who they love across the globe.&nbsp;
