This movement has a said precision of -4/+6 seconds per day and an impressive 60 hours of power reserve. The ZM 11 is measured in five positions, guaranteeing accuracy at all times and is adorned with 35 jewels.

Encased in a 100m water-resistant titanium or stainless steel 41 mm shell, the ZM 11 comes with a double-domed sapphire crystal glass in front and a single-domed sapphire crystal on the case back.

The ZM 11 comes in three unique models – Titanium Launch Edition (250 units only), Titanium Coffee Black and Steel Midnight Blue. Each model comes with its a different dial. The dual-layered dial of the Launch Edition transforms from a sleek black to vibrant red, depending on the viewer’s perspective. The Coffee Black has a warm-black dial, while the Midnight Blue comes with a blue and black dial.

Regardless of the model, their brushed indexes have polished edges and luminous fillings to ensure high-visibility in any lighting condition. Their hands are diamond-cut, softly faceted, and feature a combination of deep brushed and sand-blasted surfaces that reflect beautifully as they catch the light.

Each model has a choice of three strap options – rubber, fabric and titanium – which can be adapted seamlessly to any occasion with the Leica Easy Change System – a mechanism reminiscent of a Leica camera’s lens release button.

The Leica ZM 11 will retail at a price starting from €6,800 (S$9,899) and available only at the Leica Store Raffles Hotel Arcade from 23 Nov.

Clearly inspired by the latest Leica M11 Monochrom (see my first look) camera, the Leica ZM Monochrom Edition removes all colour and silver tones, except for the red dot, to achieve a cool minimalist aesthetic. Beneath the anti-reflective and curved sapphire crystal are the black rhodium-plated, diamond-cut, sandblasted indices and hands. The dial, including its feet, is said to be milled from a solid block of high-strength aluminium for reinforced shock-resistance.

The Monochrom Edition watch strap is made from thick, strong-grained black calf leather that is identical in texture to the M11 Monochrom camera. This strap is crafted using cut-edge construction coupled with hand-stitching and adorned with a black PVD-coated pin buckle to support the sturdy yet refined look.

Like the original ZM collection, the Leica ZM Monochrom Edition collection will come in two models – the ZM 1 and ZM 2. Both feature the in-house mechanical and hand-wound movement with the patented push-crown. Pressing this crown stops the movement from working, and resets the second hand to zero to enable easy time-setting.

However, the ZM 2 (above) has an additional feature as a GMT-watch (Greenwich Mean Time), which together with a day/night indicator allows the wearer to read two time zones with a single set of hands.

The new Leica ZM 1 Monochrom will be retailing at €11,550.00 (Singapore pricing to be confirmed) and €15,450.00 (Singapore pricing to be confirmed) for Leica ZM 2 Monochrom. They will only be available at Leica Store Raffles Hotel Arcade from May 15.
