Swiss watchmaker Longines joins in to commemorate Malaysia’s 67th Independence Day by presenting a series of images of its famed HydroConquest GMT and Longines Spirit Zulu Time with stunning backdrops of two of the country’s most iconic landmarks: the Petronas Twin Towers and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. These monuments not only showcase Malaysia’s rich history, but also its architectural diversity and innovation.
The HydroConquest GMT in a 43mm case houses the exclusive Longines Calibre L844.5 with a power reserve of up to 72 hours. Its green sunray dial and stainless steel bracelet combine lasting elegance and technical innovation. Inspired by the world of watersports, its signature design include a unidirectional bezel and 30 bar water resistance.
Those looking for something a little more lightweight can turn their attention to the Spirit Zulu Time. This version is presented in a 39mm case made of Grade 5 titanium, a bidirectional bezel with a
bi-finish ceramic insert and a 24-hour scale. Operated by the Longines Calibre L844.4, the chronometer offers cutting-edge precision with a self-winding mechanic.
The stunning refinement of the two timepieces make them wonderful companions to the vibrant unity celebrated by the nation this Merdeka Day.
