Zeppelin Series LZ 129 Hindenburg Germany Made 7036-1 70361 Men’s Watch

My first impression of the Zeppelin Series LZ 129 Hindenburg 7036-1 when I saw it online was that it was different, not like any of the other watches you see out there. I was surfing the online watch stores in search of a wrist watch for my husband Jim. His birthday was approaching and I wanted to surprise him with a gift.

Knowing Jim’s preference for things out of the ordinary, I thought he would find the sharp retro-style design of the Zeppelin Series LZ 129 Hindenburg Germany Made 7036-1 70361 Men’s Watch interesting, to say the least. The watch wasn’t too expensive so I decided to take the chance and ordered it online from Citywatches UK (https://www.citywatches.co.uk/)

Jim wasn’t home when the package arrived… I could open it without the fear of spoiling his surprise. The Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg 70361 Men’s Watch looked even better than in the pictures. The Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg 70361 is a retro style Moon phase watch. The brilliant silver coloured dial with sharp black markings and domed crystal gives it an old-world charm.

 Unlike other watches that come with a day-date window, this one has sub-dials for the day and the date.   A red-tipped pointer shows the number of the week. A third dial at six o’clock position displays the moon phase. Handmade black leather strap with matching stitching gives it a handsome look and a rich feel.

The hand-finished stainless-steel case with screw-in case back shows that the Germans don’t do things in half measures. The case diameter is 40mm, might look a tad small on Jim’s wrist but I think he wouldn’t mind. Anyways, I’d let him decide about that.

Graf Zeppelin, the German watch manufacturer offers top quality wrist watches that are modelled on the balloon airships of the yesteryears. Zeppelin airships were associated with elegance and meant for the travels of the elite of the society. POINTtec, the German company behind the Zeppelin watch brand recreates this elegance and charm in their wrist watch collections.

The Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 73 is a decent fashion watch for formal or special occasions. It could easily double up as an everyday watch as well. I think Jim would love the understated style statement it would undoubtedly make when he wore it.  Keeping my fingers crossed in the hope that I won’t need to use the website’s return policy. As for the technical specifics of the Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 70361 Men’s watch – which I’m sure Jim would look at – the watch is powered by a Ronda 706B Quartz movement. The German made watch uses top quality materials that ensure a high quality, elegant and handsome timepiece that is well worth the price you pay.
