Zeppelin watches

When hearing the name Zeppelin, two things come to mind for most people - the legendary airship, or rather, their entire line, and the equally unmistakable '70s rock band Led Zeppelin. However, since 2002, the increasingly popular Zeppelin brand of automatic watches can be included in this group. These are retro-style timepieces, referring by their design to aviation watches, which are still fashionable, look great and are equipped with very modern mechanisms that hide under the classic look.

The Zeppelin automatic watch is first and foremost a commitment to traditional design, inspired by one of the most interesting (albeit brief) eras in the history of aviation. Flying cigars, as they were colloquially called, did not conquer the skies, losing the battle with faster and more maneuverable biplane aircraft. To this day, however, the sight of an airship in the sky stirs the imagination, as for those days they were veritable colossi in the sky, dominating every object they approached. A distinctive feature of the Zeppelin automatic watch is the logo, which is in the shape of an airship, and the models, which with their names and appearance refer to the most popular airships in history, such as the Hindenburg, and the direction of the most popular air routes - San Francisco or Los Angeles.

So, do Zeppelin automatic watches have anything to offer besides a very attractive design that harks back to the past? By all means yes! Although the brand is only twenty years old, it has much longer experience in watch design. It cooperates with well-known brands of watch components. Quartz models are based on Ronda and ETA mechanisms that are well known to watch fans, while mechanical models use Japanese components from the Miyota and Seiko families. The latter supplies 80% of the world's demand for watch components and is known for the excellent quality of its products, as is Japan's Miyota, which is also a leader in the production of precision components used in watches.

Also noteworthy is the fact that German Zeppelin watches are not German in name only. The factory is located in Germany and the watches are mostly composed of components made in Europe. What is noteworthy about German Zeppelin watches is the excellent quality control carried out on site, right after the timepieces are manufactured, and the reliability of the components used, which serve the user for a very long time without failure.

In the automatic Zeppelin watch you will find hessalite glass on the dial, polished into a semi-circular cut, referring to the retro style. This gives the watch a unique charm that looks great on the hand, and the glass itself is very difficult to break and, if scratched, can be polished to restore it to its former glory. Higher models also have mineral glass to protect the dial, and the most exclusive models have sapphire glass. Also worthy of separate attention are the straps attached to Zeppelin automatic watches. They are handmade from excellent quality leather, in addition, they are most often decorated with exquisite stitching and perforations, which give them an even more intriguing appearance.

All of the above elements make Zeppelin automatic watches measure much higher than just an interesting appearance to entice you to buy, only to be disappointed later with their performance. In these timepieces you will find cutting-edge technology adorned with an artful design that makes each model unique, while in addition the watches are signed with individual serial numbers.
