Leica, a name synonymous with quality in the world of photography, has been making significant strides beyond the realm of cameras. It has recently gained prominence not only for its camera innovations but also for its intriguing collaborations with tech giants. Following successful partnerships with companies like Huawei, Leica has ventured into the realm of smartphones in collaboration with Xiaomi.
Yet, Leica’s foray into cutting-edge technology isn’t confined to cameras and mobile devices alone. The brand has now unveiled the Leica ZM 11 series of watches. These timepieces exude a classic charm with their double-layer dial design, adapting the color gradient to the observer’s perspective.
These watches are more than just stylish accessories; they incorporate advanced Super-Luminova A1 technology, delivering a luminous and captivating display. The crown design, crafted in a diamond-shaped cutting style and adorned with 35 gemstones, elevates these watches to the epitome of elegance and fashion.
Under the hood, the Leica ZM 11 series employs the meticulously crafted Leica Caliber LA-3001 engine, developed in collaboration with the Swiss company, Chronode. Operating with precision at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this engine maintains an accuracy level of -4/+6 seconds per day.
The Leica ZM 11 series offers a diverse selection of straps, including rubber, fabric, titanium, and stainless steel. These watches are built to withstand water pressure up to 100 meters and come backed by a substantial 5-year warranty.
Anticipated for release at Leica outlets worldwide by the end of November 2023, the Leica ZM 11 series is expected to start at around $7,800. These watches are more than mere timekeeping instruments; they are luxury fashion statements that prioritize style and elegance over the functions of a smartwatch.
