Bodensee 8166-4 Watch

The Watch

Zeppelin watches are authentic, high-quality creations that blend a bold aviator aesthetic with flawless performance and refined style - designed for both men and women on every occasion. This iconic German brand draws inspiration from the pioneers of aviation, delivering dazzling timepieces beloved by watch enthusiasts worldwide. Succumb to the sophisticated charm of this stunning Bodensee 8166-4 watch and make it your everyday signature piece. Crafted with care in the brand's workshops in Ruhla, Germany, it's built to perform and a joy to wear. The round stainless steel case delivers all-day comfort in perfectly balanced proportions: 40 mm in diameter, 12 mm thick, with a polished finish for a refined look. A ridged crown on the right handles time-setting. A K1 mineral crystal shields the dial from damage, and the watch is water resistant to 50 meters thanks to its snap-on caseback - which features a transparent window to admire the movement within.

The Dial

Bringing a dynamic, colorful energy to the watch, the round dial is a true showstopper. It features a dark green double-circle finish that reveals a glimpse of the movement through an open heart at 7 o'clock. The matte center houses two dauphine hands coated with a luminescent layer that glows blue-green in low light for easy reading. In grey, they point to grey baton hour markers and a minute track with white lines on the sunray outer ring. 12 o'clock is also marked with a grey Arabic numeral index for instant readability and a refined wrist presence. A sub-dial between 4 and 5 o'clock displays the small seconds. The brand signs the dial below 12 o'clock with its name and logo, while the movement type appears at 9 o'clock and the place of manufacture at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Crafted in Japan, a high-quality automatic movement brings this watch to life, ensuring the reliable operation of its hands and sub-dial. Renowned for its exceptional reliability and performance, this is specifically the Citizen-Miyota 82S5 caliber. This 21-jewel movement beats at 21,600 vibrations/hour (3 Hz) and offers a 42-hour power reserve. It delivers precise and dependable display of hours, minutes, and seconds throughout the day.

The Strap

The strap on this timepiece is crafted from topstitched bovine leather in a warm brown tone that pairs effortlessly with any wardrobe. Lighter-toned contrast stitching gives it a modern, refined edge. Supple and comfortable, it wraps the wrist with ease for all-day wear. A stainless steel ardillon buckle keeps it securely in place from morning to night.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece handles the occasional splash but isn't built for extended water exposure. You can wear it in the shower every now and then, but to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement, our watch specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from H2O: skip the bath, pool, and sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, no prolonged contact or submersion.
