Overview

Zeppelin LZ 126 Los Angeles Automatic Chronograph Watch with Blue Dial.

The LZ 126 Los Angeles line is named for the airship that crossed the Atlantic to Lakehurst in 81 hours in October 1924, and served afterwards as the USS Los Angeles. This one is the automatic chronograph of the line: a Swiss calibre under sapphire, with a tachymeter track around the dial. The case measures 42 mm in stainless steel, 15 mm deep.

The SW 510 winds itself from the motion of the wrist.

The dial is blue. It is worn on a Milanese mesh bracelet, woven from steel wire.

Questions & Answers

What did the LZ 126 achieve?

It crossed the Atlantic from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst in New Jersey in 81 hours in October 1924, and it served afterwards in the United States Navy as the USS Los Angeles.

What is the tachymeter scale for?

It converts elapsed time into speed over a known distance. You start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured mile and stop it at the end, and the scale reads the average speed straight off the dial.

How hard is the sapphire crystal?

Synthetic sapphire sits at 9 on the Mohs scale, just under diamond, so the everyday abrasives that mark a mineral crystal leave it alone. It is brittle in exchange, so a sharp impact on the edge is what to avoid.

Does the crown screw down?

Yes. It threads onto the case tube and compresses its gasket, which is what holds the water rating. Unscrew it to set the time, and screw it home again before the watch goes near water.

How is the Milanese bracelet sized?

The mesh is woven from steel wire and the clasp slides along it, so you set the length by hand and close it where it sits right. There are no links to remove and no tools involved.
