Is the Longines Spirit Zulu Time worth it in 2026?

$4,800 is the current market median.

WatchMerit currently rates the Ref. L3.812.4.63.6 a Buy. Best-value Swiss GMT.

Any offer between $4,512 and $5,088 is considered a fair price — that's a ±6% band around the median. Below that range is under-market; above it is overpriced.

What is a fair price for the Longines Spirit Zulu Time?

$4,512 to $5,088 for a full set example.

Full-set examples (box, papers, unpolished) sit near the middle of that range. Watch out for missing papers or heavy polishing — expect a 5–15% discount from median in those cases. International grey-market listings can look cheaper but almost always add GST, import duty and freight once landed.

Every live listing on WatchMerit is auto-labelled Under Market, Fair Price or Overpriced against this band, so you never have to guess.
