A new classic has been released in the "watches under ¥50,000" series, which are said to be just right for the modern era. A green masterpiece has been completed as the latest addition to the "Zeppelin 100th Anniversary Series Japan Limited Edition Chronograph." The ZEPPELIN 100th Anniversary Series was born from a nod to the history of the legendary Zeppelin airship of the early 20th century. The flagship collection commemorating the 100th anniversary, the "100th Anniversary Series," features rounded, softly arched forms, such as the case, dome crystal, and bombe dial, designed to resemble the body of an airship. The Japan-exclusive chronograph, released in March 2020, was redesigned based on the design of the best-selling "100th Anniversary Series Chronograph Alarm," focusing on features preferred by businessmen in their 30s to 50s. Its cost-effectiveness has garnered attention among many watch enthusiasts, who regard it as "a German watch on a par with luxury."


The latest model, the "Japan-limited Chronograph Green"]

This latest model features a trendy green dial, with grey subdials tightening the watch's design. Paired with a simple yet tastefully lustrous dark brown smooth calf leather strap, it creates an elegant look for the wrist. While the basic design remains the same, with the intricate scales and form of the tachymeter and telemeter, the watch takes on a different look each time you look at it. It exudes a luxurious and dressy sexiness, and its classic appearance makes it easy to coordinate with both suits and casual styles.

A high-quality German watch incorporating trendy green has been born, priced at under 50,000 yen (tax included), making a splash in Japan's fashion watch market, where e-commerce sales are becoming increasingly competitive.

Germany's pride and joy, the “Zeppelin”

Germany, 1900. A rigid airship developed by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. The success of this design made high-speed flight and larger airships possible, ushering in an era in which airships became a popular means of air transportation. Zeppelins were hailed as the world's most luxurious form of air travel, captivating people worldwide. In particular, the success of the LZ127's circumnavigation of the globe was said to be a feat that no one would achieve for 100 years, and is still talked about today.
