Zimson is a leading watch retail chain with 60 boutiques in South India, and its standalone Longines boutique is the only one of its kind in Kochi.
The Spirit Zulu Time and the Ultra-Chron Carbon are the latest high-powered releases from Longines, and follow in a long line of exceptional timepieces from the brand.

It is powered by Calibre L844.4, boasting a power reserve of 72 hours.

The new watch is encased in a titanium and carbon case, it houses the Calibre L836 offering a power reserve of 52 hours (read more about it here).
