LZ14 Marine 8888-2 Watch

The Watch

Inspired by the spirit of Ferdinand Von Zeppelin, the visionary architect of rigid transatlantic airships, the German brand crafts durable, timeless watches assembled with modern techniques and trend-forward designs. Zeppelin puts elegance first, delivering wristwear that commands attention. Discover the men's LZ14 Marine 8888-2. It showcases a round case in polished stainless steel - a material built to hold its brilliance over time. The case measures 42 mm in diameter with a 13 mm thickness, perfectly sized for men. It's protected by a K1 mineral safety crystal that guards the dial against scratches. At 3 o'clock, a grey knurled crown sits alongside two pushers, together controlling the watch's various functions. The model is completed by a caseback offering 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

Meticulously designed, this dial delivers precise timekeeping at a glance. Set against a black background, it features an internal bezel in grey displaying a tachymeter scale - allowing you to calculate the speed of a moving object. A telemeter scale with yellow graduation runs along the dial's edge, letting you measure distance based on the speed of sound. The chronograph function is handled by three subdials at the center: the one at 3 o'clock shows small seconds, the one at 6 o'clock marks 12 hours, and the one at 9 o'clock counts up to 30 minutes. For easy reading in low-light conditions, the central grey hands indicating hours and minutes are coated with a luminescent treatment. They're joined by a sleek red seconds hand for chronograph timekeeping. Together, they point to a fine minute track and grey baton indices accented with luminescent squares. For added functionality, a date window is positioned at 4 o'clock, followed by the Made in Germany inscription at 6 o'clock. The dial is finished with the brand logo and name as a signature.

The Movement

This watch runs on a quartz movement - specifically the Ronda 5030.D caliber, equipped with 6 jewels and a stop-seconds function. This mechanism delivers outstanding reliability and keeps the hands, chronograph, and date accurate for approximately 54 months.

The Strap

This strap adds a polished, sophisticated touch to any look. Crafted from cowhide leather with a crocodile-pattern finish and charming tone-on-tone stitching, it strikes the perfect balance between supple and durable. It measures 22 mm wide at the lug and 230 mm long. Its versatile black color pairs seamlessly with any accessory. A tang buckle makes for easy, secure fastening.

Water Resistance

This model offers 5-atmosphere water resistance, equivalent to 50 m. Built to be as beautiful as it is capable, it holds its own against the elements without missing a beat. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it safely on the counter to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. For swimming and diving, we strongly advise against wearing this watch in the water to avoid damage and costly repairs.
