Leica’s ZM Urban Green Watches Channel Forest Tones and Precision

— July 21, 2025 — Fashion
Leica’s ZM Urban Green collection celebrates nature’s elegance through a striking fumé‑noir gradient dial that transitions from deep black at the edges to rich forest green at the centre. This gradient effect, topped with domed sapphire crystal, reflects Leica’s meticulous craftsmanship. The ZM 1 model offers a clean, minimalist layout, while the ZM 2 adds practical GMT and day/night functions. Leica’s signature push‑crown, an homage to its camera shutter—and a hand‑wound mechanical movement reinforces technical excellence alongside design beauty.

Available with Milanese steel bracelets or leather straps featuring green stitching, each watch embodies refined utility. These limited-edition models bring together urban sophistication and natural inspiration, making each glance at your wrist a nod to both precision engineering and landscape. These are notably designed in collaboration with Lehmann Präzision. The ZM series also reflects Leica’s German engineering heritage.
