The Zeppelin 100 Years is the brand's best-known series, and it is also where our Zeppelin selection is widest. These are men's watches, mostly with quartz movements and 5 atm water resistance; you may also meet the 100 Jahre wording in product names, and it is the same series. As an official Zeppelin dealer we deliver to your door with the manufacturer warranty, and our own watch service handles battery and strap changes.
What does the name Zeppelin 100 Years stand for?
The series pays tribute to the first century of Zeppelin airships, and on the German market it runs as "100 Jahre Zeppelin". The dials have old-fashioned numerals and classic hands, and their character recalls early 20th-century wristwatches – only with a modern movement and case.
Quartz 100 Years or automatic?
The vast majority of the series is quartz, but an automatic version exists too. Quartz is a practical choice here: if you wear this one to the office on weekdays and your sports watch at the weekend, you do not have to reset it on Monday. Our own watch service takes care of battery changes.
Who are the 100 Years watches for?
- Anyone looking for their first serious watch with good value for money.
- As a gift for a dad or grandfather who loves the history of early aviation.
- For the office and the weekend alike: you can choose from elegant, smart-casual and sporty models.
You can see the brand's other series on the Zeppelin watches page. When choosing, look through the dial colours one after another on the product page – cream, black and blue give completely different moods.
What people ask about Zeppelin 100 Years watches
What is the difference between Zeppelin 100 Years and 100 Jahre?
There is no difference: it is the same series, and 100 Jahre is the German name. Both versions appear in product names.
What determines the price of a Zeppelin 100 Years watch?
Mainly the strap, the case colour and the movement. The automatic versions belong to the higher range of the series.
Can you shower with a Zeppelin 100 Years watch?
We do not recommend it: 5 atm handles splashes, but hot water and steam strain the gaskets. It is better to take it off before a shower.
Is there an automatic in the 100 Years series?
Yes, although most of the series is quartz. If you specifically want an automatic, several versions can be ordered.
