What is the Longines Spirit, and which references are in stock?
The Spirit is Longines' modern aviator collection, drawing on the brand's aviation history from the 1920s and 1930s, including instruments carried by record-setting pilots. The defining details are large luminous numerals, a screw-down crown, 100m water resistance and the five stars on the dial that signal chronometer-grade precision. The line splits into a few sub-families. The standard Spirit comes in a 40mm or 42mm steel case with sunray dials in blue, black, silver or anthracite. The Spirit Zulu Time adds a GMT complication and a ceramic 24-hour bezel, offered in steel and in bronze. The references in stock here span these formats, so you can compare case sizes, dial colours and bracelet or strap options side by side. Each listing shows its reference number, dimensions and current CAD price, which makes it easy to narrow the roughly 64 Spirit variants down to the configuration you want before you buy.
What movement powers the Longines Spirit?
Every Spirit runs a COSC chronometer-certified automatic movement, which is why the dial carries five stars. COSC certification means each movement is independently tested for accuracy before it ships, so the watch keeps tight time across temperatures and positions. The movements use a silicon balance spring, a material that resists magnetism and helps maintain rate stability over the long term. Power reserve is roughly 72 hours, so a Spirit left off the wrist over a weekend will typically still be running on Monday. The Spirit Zulu Time uses a GMT movement that adds an independently set 24-hour hand, read against the ceramic bezel to track a second time zone. All Spirit references are Swiss made. Across the collection the technical core stays consistent: chronometer accuracy, silicon balance spring and the long power reserve. What changes between references is the case size, the dial colour, the case material and whether you choose a time-and-date Spirit or the Zulu Time GMT.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Longines Spirit cost in Canada?+
Across the Longines Spirit collection at La Maison Monaco, prices generally range from about $3,350 to $7,800 CAD, depending on the reference. Where a given watch falls in that range reflects the case size, the case material, and whether it is a time-and-date Spirit or the Spirit Zulu Time GMT, plus the bracelet or strap choice. Current CAD pricing is shown on each product in the grid, so the figures you see there are the ones that apply.
What is the difference between the Spirit and the Spirit Zulu Time?+
The standard Longines Spirit is a time-and-date aviator in a 40mm or 42mm steel case with a fixed bezel and a sunray dial. The Spirit Zulu Time adds a GMT complication and a ceramic 24-hour bezel, letting you track a second time zone with an independent hand. The Zulu Time is offered in steel and in bronze, while the standard Spirit is steel. Both are COSC chronometer-certified automatics. Choose by whether you need GMT functionality.
Should I choose the 40mm or 42mm Longines Spirit?+
Choose the 40mm Spirit if you have a smaller wrist or prefer a more compact, even-wearing aviator that sits closer to a classic mid-size proportion. Choose the 42mm Spirit if you want a more present case and a larger dial with bigger luminous numerals. Both share the same COSC-certified automatic movement, screw-down crown and 100m water resistance, so the decision is about wrist fit and presence rather than features. Compare both sizes among the references in stock.
Is La Maison Monaco an authorized Longines dealer, and is the warranty valid?+
Yes. La Maison Monaco is an authorized Longines dealer in Canada, so every Spirit purchased here is a genuine Longines watch covered by the full Longines manufacturer warranty. You also get Canadian CAD pricing without currency conversion, and 0% Flexiti financing is available on approved credit. Buying from an authorized dealer means the watch is sold new and unworn with valid documentation, and any future service is handled through official Longines channels.
Is the Longines Spirit a good everyday watch?+
The Spirit is built as a tool-elegant aviator, which suits daily wear well. It offers 100m water resistance, a screw-down crown and luminous numerals for readability, and a COSC-certified automatic movement with roughly 72 hours of power reserve. The 40mm and 42mm sizes work under a cuff or with casual wear, and the sunray dials in blue, black, silver or anthracite cover a range of looks. The references in stock include bracelet and strap options for different settings.
