Product Information
Full details
This Zeppelin Mediterranee Chronograph watch is designed for the discerning individual who appreciates classic styling with modern functionality. Its key benefit is the combination of a sophisticated aesthetic, featuring a beige dial and leather strap, with the precision of a Swiss quartz movement and chronograph capabilities. A potential caveat for some users might be the 50M water resistance, which is suitable for daily wear but not for extensive water activities.

What material is the watch case made of?
The watch case is made of stainless steel.
What is the diameter of the watch case?
The case diameter is 42mm.
Can I replace the leather strap?

Troubleshooting
Chronograph hands not resetting to zero
This may require a recalibration of the chronograph mechanism. Consult a watchmaker for adjustment.
Watch not keeping accurate time
Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If inaccuracy persists, the battery may be low or the movement may require servicing.
Condensation under the glass
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from humid environments immediately and have it inspected by a watchmaker.
Strap is uncomfortable or showing wear
The leather strap may require conditioning. If the wear is significant, consider replacing the strap with a new one of similar size.

- Comfortable brown leather strap for everyday wear.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This watch requires no complex setup. Ensure the crown is pushed in to maintain water resistance. The chronograph functions are operated via the pushers on the side of the case.
Compatibility:
- Strap: The watch uses a standard lug width, allowing for replacement with other 20mm leather, metal, or fabric straps.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and glass with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly. Avoid getting the leather strap excessively wet.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 50M, avoid prolonged submersion, showering, or swimming. The water resistance can be compromised over time due to gasket wear. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if exposed to water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Battery: The quartz movement requires a battery. When the watch stops running, the battery will need to be replaced by a qualified watchmaker.
