This Led Zeppelin tribute watch incorporates many details from the timeless band's music, album covers and themes. The design resembles the style of Steampunk, playing on 19th century industrial-looking machinery.

The timepiece's [alligator leather strap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur101-trex) is reminiscent of the era the rock and roll band took to the screaming stages. The face of the watch has a background that looks like glistening, multicolored shells, that is in reality enamel. On top are many [intricate pieces that are thematically designed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg). There is a large zeppelin flying across the face and three sharp hands. These all appear to be a bronze-gold material that the 'ArtyA' designers call 'ArtyOr.'

Finally, the "Zoso" symbols from the band's fourth, nameless album's cover art are present on the Led Zeppelin tribute as well -- a real attraction to fans who constantly debate what these symbols are said to mean.
