About This Watch
The Longines Spirit 40mm Green brings one of the most popular dial colors in modern watchmaking to the Spirit collection's refined field-watch platform. The green sunburst dial is notably different from the deep greens found on dive watches — this is a brighter, more luminous green that shifts beautifully between olive, sage, and emerald depending on the angle and lighting conditions. Paired with the polished fixed bezel and the collection's signature applied Arabic numeral markers, the green Spirit has a sophisticated, almost dressy character that sets it apart from the more tool-oriented green dials found on dive watches. The L888.4 exclusive caliber inside carries COSC chronometer certification and features a silicon hairspring, delivering the same -4/+6 seconds per day accuracy and 72-hour power reserve that define the Spirit movement program. The 40mm case at 11.8mm thick maintains the comfortable, all-day wearability that makes the Spirit such an effective daily watch, while the quick-change strap system means a leather or suede strap can completely transform the character for weekend wear. The green dial also pairs exceptionally well with brown leather and olive NATO straps, offering color-coordination possibilities that black and blue dials simply cannot match. At $1,775, the Spirit 40mm Green offers a distinctive color option with no compromise in movement quality or finishing compared to the established black and blue variants. It appeals to the collector who already owns a black and blue watch and seeks something that stands apart without venturing into exotic territory.
