An elegant design with contemporary accents

The Zeppelin Friedrichshafen New York Chrono watch (reference 8878-1) embodies masculine elegance with a design inspired by aviation heritage and a cosmopolitan spirit. Its 42 mm round stainless steel case, with a polished and glossy finish, offers a strong presence on the wrist while maintaining a refined aesthetic. With a thickness of 12 mm, the watch achieves a perfect balance between robustness and elegance.

Its white dial, contrasted with blue elements, provides excellent readability and a modern style. The analog display with hands is complemented by precise indices and a railway minute track, reinforcing the watch’s classic appeal. The luminous hands ensure easy reading even in low-light conditions. The dial also features a date window, a practical addition for everyday use. The entire piece is protected by a hardened K1 mineral crystal, known for its resistance to scratches and impacts.

A precise chronograph powered by a Japanese movement

This watch is equipped with a Japanese Miyota quartz movement, renowned for its reliability and accuracy. It runs on the Miyota 6S20 calibre, a high-performance mechanism designed for stable and long-lasting operation.

The chronograph function allows highly precise time measurement thanks to several dedicated subdials. The system includes 1/20th of a second timing, a 60-minute counter, and a small seconds subdial, enabling accurate measurement of time intervals.

The dial also features a tachymeter scale, a useful tool for calculating the speed of a moving object over a known distance. The functions are controlled via a crown and two push-buttons, allowing easy activation and management of the chronograph features. With water resistance up to 5 ATM, the watch is suitable for splashes and everyday use.

A refined and comfortable leather strap

The Zeppelin Friedrichshafen New York Chrono comes with a blue cowhide leather strap that enhances the model’s elegance. Its crocodile-pattern finish adds a sophisticated touch, while the visible stitching highlights the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

With a lug width of 22 mm, the strap ensures a secure fit and optimal comfort for daily wear. It fastens with a classic pin buckle, reliable and easy to adjust.
