German watchmaker Zeppelin has added a new model to its bestselling "100 Years Zeppelin" series of chronographs with an alarm, featuring a striking red dial. This crimson face captures the beautiful sunset hues reflected on the airship's hull during the LZ127's historic circumnavigation in 1929. It's a new release imbued with the evocative depth of its rich red color.

In the early 20th century, when humanity yearned for the skies, the German rigid airship "Zeppelin" revolutionized travel. It transitioned from balloons, which could only move vertically, to establishing air transport capable of carrying people and cargo horizontally. The Zeppelin achieved numerous historical feats, including transatlantic crossings and world tours, while offering what was considered the world's most luxurious air travel, captivating people globally.

Founded in Germany in 1987 as a tribute to this grand aviation history, Zeppelin is a watch brand that embodies "MADE IN GERMANY." It merges classical designs, inspired by the exterior of the Zeppelin airship, with the German watchmaking principle of "quality first." Now, a Japan-exclusive model featuring a newly developed red dial has been released from its bestselling "100 Years Zeppelin Chronograph Alarm" series.

This red dial is inspired by the beautiful sunset colors reflected on the airship's hull during the 1929 world-circling voyage of the airship "LZ127" (nicknamed the "Graf Zeppelin"). The deep red serves as a vibrant accent for various outfits. The vintage-finished red leather strap can also be swapped for the included black leather strap with a crocodile embossing.

The design features a rounded, curved form for the case, domed glass, and dial, evoking a vintage aesthetic. Functionally, it includes a 12-hour chronograph, a 12-hour alarm, a tachymeter for measuring speed, and a telemeter for distance, demonstrating impressive performance. The red dial is paired with white hands and indices, and a black date display, creating a color scheme that enhances both legibility and design.
