Zeppelin 7680-1 100 Jahre

The Zeppelin 7680-1 is a distinguished member of the "100 Years Zeppelin" collection, a tribute to the enduring legacy of Zeppelin over a century.

Zeppelin watches draw their inspiration from the intricate airship designs and the storied history of Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin. This collection seamlessly blends classic and elegant elements, such as domed dials and crystals, with modern accents.

ABOUT THE BRAND:

Zeppelin watches are meticulously crafted by Point Tec Electronic in Germany. Established in 1987, this medium-sized family-owned company has maintained its independence. Every timepiece they create is the result of the expertise of experienced watchmakers in Germany. Point Tec Electronic also produces renowned watch brands like Iron Annie and Bauhaus.

CASE/BEZEL

Weighing in at just 76 grams, the 7680-1 boasts a polished stainless-steel case measuring 42x12 mm. The modern accents are further highlighted by the 22mm spacing of the lugs.

The screw-down back case is also constructed from stainless steel and is adorned with the Zeppelin logo, collection name, model number, and Point Tec’s QR code. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters. It's worth noting that the chronograph pushers and crown are not screw-down.

MOVEMENT

All watches within the 100 Years Anniversary collection are driven by high-quality mechanical and quartz movements. The 7680-1 is powered by a Swiss-made Ronda movement model 5130.D, measuring 28.6 x 4.4 mm with six jewels. The battery, a Swiss Made Renata number 395, boasts a claimed battery life of approximately 48 months. That’s 4 years. Its motor accuracy is -10/+20 seconds per month.

DIAL/HANDS

The dial's captivating silver hue is crowned by its domed design. Numbers, markers, and hands are meticulously painted in glossy black. The Zeppelin logo and collection name proudly adorn the top of the dial, while the "Made in Germany" label is elegantly displayed at 6 o'clock.

The dial encompasses a tachymeter and telemeter scale. The three-eye chronograph presents a seconds sub-dial, a 30-minute counter, and a 12-hour sub-dial which also serves as an alarm setter. Positioned at 4 o'clock, the date window complements the design. The dial is further enriched with seven stainless steel accents beneath the minute markers.

STRAP

The watch is elegantly dressed with a brown leather strap, meticulously handcrafted in Germany and adorned with white stitching. The stainless-steel buckle proudly displays the brand's logo. The strap measures 22 mm at the top, tapering down to 19 mm at the end. This watch is also available with a stainless steel mesh bracelet featuring a deployment buckle.

CROWN

With a busy dial such as this, its bound to have multiple crowns for easier function. The top pusher starts and stops the central seconds while the bottom pusher resets the central seconds to its original position. The main crown allows you to change the date by pulling once and change the hours and minutes by pulling it twice, which you will then see the alarm function reset in proportion to the correct time.

It's worth noting that the chronograph pushers and crown are not screw-down.

CRYSTAL

A rounded mineral K1 crystal graces the case, encircled by a polished stainless steel bezel, which not only makes this watch reliable, but prominent as well. The domed feature creates a reflection of the dial.
