Introducing the Leica ZM 12 Watch Collection
The new Leica ZM 12 watch collection has been unveiled, refining simplicity with a fresh minimalistic approach. Building on the ZM 11's foundation, the ZM 12 introduces a smaller size with a dual-layered dial, welcoming new enthusiasts.
Design and Functionality
Offering a modern take on iconic design, the Leica ZM 12 collection perfectly balances form and function. With a smaller 39 mm case made from stainless steel or titanium, the watches feature classic timekeeping with a small seconds sub dial at 6 o'clock, enhancing symmetry. The dual-layered dial's play of light and shadow adds depth and color exploration.
Exceptional Illumination and Legibility
Swiss Grade A Super-LumiNova illuminates the watch indices and hands, ensuring clear visibility even in low-light conditions.
Precision Engineering
In collaboration with Swiss movement specialists at Chronode, the Leica Calibre LA-3002 automatic movement is engineered with 38 jewels. The ZM 12 offers a timekeeping precision of -4/+6 seconds per day and a power reserve of approximately 60 hours, operating at 28,800 beats per hour.
Technical Excellence and Minimal Design
