Leica? Making watches? Yes… and the German brand isn’t doing this just for the fun of it.
The silver dial of the 39 mm ZM12 is all about subtle details. Its layered construction creates depth, while the changing light brings out the different brushed and textured surfaces. The bracelet deserves a mention too. It’s beautifully executed and gives the watch a modern character without trying too hard.
The red pusher, inspired by the lens-exchange pusher on the M6, releases the bracelet, allowing you to swap it for a rubber strap. Presto! You have a sportier look.
The automatic movement was developed with Swiss movement specialist Chronode and offers a 60-hour power reserve. On top of that, the watch is water-resistant to 100 metres
