And then there were two...
Hydroconquest GMT vs. Spirit Zulu GMT... Thoughts?
I'm partial to the blue on blue Zulu, but prefer the combo of the traditional 60sec bezel vs the 24hr bezel on the Hydroconquest.

I’ve thought about this way too often. Black dial Zulu 39mm for me. Zulu in general for me. I’ve grown to like the stars on the dial.

What size wrist do you have? Don't have a local Longines, and a good hour drive to the nearest boutique.
6.5”
I haven’t purchased yet but the 39mm fits me very nicely.
Zulu ! All the way
Spirit wins hands down for me.
As a package I like the Spirit Zulu GMT better, but I get what you're saying about the bezel.
Zulu Time for sure. The round indices on the new hydro ruin the symmetry of the dial for me.
Zulu 👍🏻

It's like the "perfect" setup, ya know. I'd have the GMT function for travel, while still maintaining the 60 bezel for timing things.
However, I like the dial and colorway of the blue on blue Zulu. Wish I lived in a bigger locale, and I would just go try it on. I got a trip to Dallas coming up, and I plan on hitting up some boutiques.

Gotcha. I'm like a 7.5"-8" depending on the day. I'll probably go with the 42mm.
When you try it on you’ll know. Take that long drive!
Thanks for the feedback y'all. Zulu for the win!
