Méditerranée Moonphase 9636-5 Watch

The Watch

Zeppelin is a German watchmaking brand with deep aeronautical roots, crafting timepieces celebrated for their flawless aesthetics, exceptional finishing, and undeniable performance. This Méditerranée Moonphase 9636-5 watch embodies the brand's expertise, blending precision with timeless elegance for a truly refined look. It comes in a round stainless steel case with a stunning polished finish in perfect harmony with its silver tone. Measuring 42 mm in diameter and 12 mm thick, it's topped with a domed K1 mineral crystal that reinforces the watch's vintage character while protecting the dial from everyday shocks. At 3 o'clock, a knurled crown handles the setting of the hour and minute hands, accompanied by a pusher at 4 o'clock for managing the watch's additional complications. The snap-on caseback provides 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

The beige dial of this watch delivers a vintage, classic aesthetic underscored by thoughtfully crafted display elements. Three elegant subdials lend the dial a chic, timeless character: the date at 3 o'clock, the moon phase at 6 o'clock, and the day of the week at 9 o'clock. Two pear-shaped hands and a slim seconds hand, all in black, sweep across the center for beautiful contrast. They point to gold Arabic numeral indices and a minute track featuring Arabic numerals and small baton markers in black every 5 minutes. The brand's name is signed just below 12 o'clock alongside its logo, with the "Made in Germany" label positioned at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement - specifically the Ronda 706.1 caliber with 1 jewel. It provides accurate, reliable display of hours, minutes, seconds, date, day, and moon phase. It runs on a 371 battery with an impressive 5-year battery life.

The Strap

This watch features an elegant cowhide leather strap that enhances its vintage, classic appeal. In a rich dark brown, it sports a crocodile-pattern finish that adds a timeless touch of refinement. The strap measures 20 mm wide at the lug and features tone-on-tone stitching. It fastens with a stainless steel tang buckle for a comfortable, secure fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, 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.
