Friedrichshafen Automatic GMT Watch 8596-3

The Watch

Zeppelin is a German watchmaking brand renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, which has earned it a well-deserved place in the watch industry. Its dedication to design has been key to its success, producing timepieces prized for their distinctive look and effortless legibility. Discover the Friedrichshafen Automatic GMT Watch 8596-3, featuring a polished stainless steel case with a brilliant silver tone. Designed for men's wrists, it boasts a round shape, 42 mm diameter, and 14 mm thickness. A K1 security mineral crystal protects the dial, while a ridged crown at 3 o'clock allows easy adjustment of the central functions. The transparent snap-back case reveals the movement within and ensures 5 atmospheres (50 meters) of water resistance.

The Dial

The dial of this watch reveals the meticulous craftsmanship behind the brand. It displays a dual-tone palette of blue and silver, elevated by a clous de Paris finish and a world map motif. The outer rim features a minute track encircling Arabic numerals for easy hour reading. At the center, three black hands display the hours, minutes, and seconds. A fourth hand, distinguished by its red triangular tip, points to the 24-hour GMT scale also graduated on the dial. A white date window at 3 o'clock adds precision, while "Made in Germany" and the collection name appear at 6 o'clock as additional details. Zeppelin's name and logo are placed at 12 o'clock as the brand's signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement of Japanese origin - the Miyota caliber 9075 - ensuring analog display of the hands and the GMT function. It features 24 jewels to reduce friction, beats at 28,800 A/h (4 Hz), and offers a power reserve of 42 hours. A stop-seconds mechanism makes setting the time effortless.

The Strap

The strap that perfectly complements this watch case is crafted from bovine leather with a crocodile-effect finish. In dark blue with tone-on-tone stitching, it fastens with a silver-tone stainless steel pin buckle to keep the watch securely on your wrist. Its lug width is 22 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 5 atmospheres (50 m), combining beauty with real-world resilience. You can wear it in the shower - though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. For swimming or diving, we strongly advise against submerging this watch to avoid damage and costly repairs.
