The short answer
The closest alternative to the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Gold is the Longines HydroConquest GMT 41mm ($3,350) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto at $975 (vs $5,200 for the Spirit Zulu Time 42mm Gold) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches ARCTIC GMT is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Rolex GMT-Master II ($50,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
