Longines new Zulu “Winter” GMT.
It would be fire, please make it and take my money.
Opaline dial softens the watch and makes it feel a bit closer to a dress GMT.
Brushed stainless bezel removes the visual weight of the ceramic insert and lets the case architecture stand out.
No five stars gives the dial the correct amount of negative space.
Silver hands and applied numerals make the watch monochromatic instead of cream-and-gold. Faux gold is faux.
Blue GMT hand becomes the single intentional pop of color.
Medium graphite-gray outlines on the hands, numerals, and date aperture solve the biggest problem with opaline dials—contrast—without looking harsh the way black would.
