Zeppelin Watches – German Watches from the Airship Era

You will find a wide choice of Zeppelin watches with us: mostly men's watches with quartz and automatic movements, plus women's Luna and Hindenburg models. We are an official Zeppelin dealer, so every watch comes with the manufacturer warranty, and later battery or strap changes are done by our own watch service. You order online and it is delivered to your door.

What kind of brand is Zeppelin, and where are the watches made?

Zeppelin is a German watch brand founded in 1987 and managed by POINTtec Electronic GmbH in Ismaning, near Munich – the same company behind Junkers and Iron Annie. The watches are assembled in Ruhla, Thuringia. The design recalls the age of airships: light, old-fashioned dials, classic hands, and many of the collections are named after a famous airship.

Which Zeppelin collection should you choose?

Zeppelin 100 Years – the brand's broadest series, mostly quartz men's watches, starting at entry level.
Friedrichshafen – the most elegant line, with plenty of automatics; this is where you find the brand's higher price tier.
LZ 129 Hindenburg, LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, LZ 126 Los Angeles, LZ 120 Bodensee – classic series named after famous airships.
Atlantic, New Captain's Line and New York – automatics and a sportier quartz line for men.

Quartz or automatic Zeppelin?

Most of the range is quartz, but automatics make up a sizeable share and there are a few solar pieces too. Our usual advice: if the watch will spend weekends in a drawer, quartz is more convenient because it will not stop. If you wear it every day and love mechanics, take a look at the Zeppelin automatic watches – they start a little higher than the quartz models. The choice for women is smaller: among the women's Zeppelin watches you will find quartz Luna, Hindenburg and Friedrichshafen models, which are among the most affordable in the brand.

How water resistant is a Zeppelin watch?

The vast majority of models are 5 atm (50 m), the rest 3 atm. 5 atm handles rain, hand washing and splashes, but do not swim with it. Keep the leather strap away from water too, as it wears out sooner – and if it does happen, our own watch service can replace the strap.

How to choose a Zeppelin watch online

Check the case diameter on the product page: the larger, classic men's cases look good on most wrists, while the smaller Luna models suit slimmer wrists. Leather straps are more elegant, metal bracelets more hard-wearing. As an official dealer, we deliver every Zeppelin watch to your door with the manufacturer warranty.

Frequently asked questions about Zeppelin watches

What nationality is the Zeppelin brand?

Zeppelin is a German watch brand: it has existed since 1987, POINTtec Electronic GmbH manages it in Ismaning, and the watches are assembled in Ruhla, Thuringia. Its name and design were inspired by the Zeppelin airships of the early 20th century.

What determines the price of a Zeppelin watch?

Mainly the movement: quartz models make up the brand's entry level, automatics start higher, and the automatics of the Friedrichshafen series represent the higher price tier. The case material and strap type also matter.

Is a Zeppelin watch worth buying?

Yes, if you want a classic, vintage-feel dial from a German brand at a friendlier level than Swiss watches. I would not call it a fashion watch: these are understated pieces built for the long term.

Can you swim with a Zeppelin watch?

No, Zeppelin watches are rated 3 or 5 atm, which is not enough for swimming. They do handle rain, hand washing and splashes without any trouble.

Are there women's Zeppelin watches?

Yes, but fewer: among the women's Zeppelin watches you will find Luna, Hindenburg, LZ 14 and Friedrichshafen models with quartz movements. Most of the range is men's watches.

Does a Zeppelin watch come with a warranty?

Yes, as an official dealer we supply every Zeppelin watch with the manufacturer warranty. Battery and strap changes after the warranty period are done by our own watch service.
