Leica has introduced its latest take on timeless craftsmanship with the ZM 1 and ZM 2 Urban Green watches, blending natural inspiration and modern urban flair. Both models showcase a fumé noir dial that graduates from deep green to black, encased under domed sapphire glass and framed by finely blasted, satinage-vertical grooves on an aluminum surface. The rhodium-plated, diamond-cut indices and hands reflect Leica’s precision heritage, while the stainless-steel Milanaise strap—fully engraved and finished with a deployant buckle—adds a sleek, mesh-style complement that hugs the wrist.

Beyond looks, these hand-wound mechanical timepieces bring a clever nod to Leica cameras with a patented push-crown: press it to halt the movement and reset the second hand, then twist to set the time. The ZM 2 steps things up with a built-in GMT function and day/night indicator, perfect for those tracking two time zones. First launched in 2022, the ZM series reimagines classic watch functions through Leica’s lens of innovation, and the new Urban Green editions carry that legacy forward with striking color, meticulous engineering, and over 150 years of German craftsmanship behind every detail.
