The Zeppelin Friedrichshafen watches are the brand's most elegant line: automatic and quartz, mainly men's but with a women's model too. We are an official Zeppelin dealer, so we deliver them to your door with the manufacturer warranty, and with our own watch service we also provide service backup for them, from strap changes to water resistance checks.
Where does the Friedrichshafen collection get its name?
Friedrichshafen is the German city on the shore of Lake Constance where Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's airships were built. The series named after it is the brand's "dressed-up" side: pieces of an elegant class with classic, understated dials.
Automatic or quartz Friedrichshafen?
If you buy the watch for occasions – a wedding, the theatre, a business meeting – and it then stays in the box for days, quartz is more practical: you strap it on and it is accurate. If you wear it daily, the automatic gives you the extra that makes many people look for this series: it runs without a battery, powered by your movement.
Is the Friedrichshafen a good gift?
- A good direction for a graduation or a milestone birthday, because it is elegant without being showy.
- There is a women's version too, so couples can choose watches of a similar style.
- 5 atm water resistance copes with everyday life, but it is not meant for swimming.
You can see the sportier Zeppelin series on the brand's main page. If you are curious how the series' entry model differs from the higher-range automatics, write to us and we will explain the difference.
