TIME ZONE
BY CAROL BESLER
T he Longines Heritage collection highlights the company’s unbeatable archive of vintage watches, many of which reinforce Longines’ strength in the aviation category. The Zulu collection is a tribute to aviation heroes who have worn Longines watches in the past, including most notably Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Amy Johnson, along with Howard Hughes, Clyde Panghorn, and Hugh Herndon — all of whom wore Longines while in the air. The term Zulu Time is another name for Greenwich Mean Time, the universal standard in aviation. It’s derived from the NATO phonetic alphabet, where “Zulu” means “Z” and is a reference to the zero hours of Greenwich Mean Time. “The Zulu collection is a tribute to these exceptional men and women who, by a record, an exploit or a display of courage, have left their mark on history, pushing new generations to surpass themselves,” says Longines.
