Product Description
A retro watch with a radiant blue dial, breguet-style hands, and Arabic numerals, the Hindenburg from Graf Zeppelin calls worthy attention on the wrist. Despite all the watch’s complications—a moonphase indicator, a day subdial, and a date subdial—it clocks in at a manageable 40 millimeters wide and 10 millimeters thick Read More

I support more ham sandwiches on MD; so long as they have unidirectional bezels!

They’re a day late. The Hindenburg blew up on May 6, 1937. Also of note is that roughly 1/3 of the people onboard died. This watch is roughly 1/3 of its retail price. Coincidence? I think not. Illuminati confirmed.

Open email, check spam, see DROP, peek new watches, realize it doesn't even show a photo, just a link "SHOP NOW", know it's gonna be bad.
And WTF is Hesalite? Quick oogle-fu indicates it's just a cheapest plastic with a fancy name. These desperate marketing practices are really pathetic...

The Specs clearly indicate Domed Hesalite. Nothing hidden about it. In general, when it comes to watches you can skip the general description and jump to the Specs to get the useful information.

THX1138Some people prefer Hesalite on very high end watches for the shatter resistance. Even if they do scratch... They can be polished again. Nothing wrong with it. I personally prefer sapphire...

When I saw this watch on a photo, I fell in love immediately. Strange. It was pure impulse. Anyway, it's 2019, we all know what it is to fell in love with a photo and then go for a real date, we've been there, Tinder is a great teacher.
I try to be a minimalist so for me a clean classic Tissot with a just white back and circle of digits in Roman(T033.410.16.013.01), is, you know, totally enough for a watch. This is I think reasonable amount of information to have in a pocket.
Zeppelin? Well, with two additional circles on a plate, another one for moon tracker and additional hand for tracking weeks? You may imagine, from minimalist perspective this sounds overwhelming. And ffs it in fact is overwhelming, and also not necessary. Be honest with yourself. How many times in your life you need to check whether it's still sunday or whether it's monday already. On a watch. On your hand. Anyway, I was still curious, because somehow this watch looks astonishing and also when I researched youtube for some video footage, all of three people I found, were introducing Zeppeling with true passion! I know, this sounds like strong recommendation point ;) ... but if you were looking up this watch then you know what I'm talking about. People are saying very good words about it. And still, above all of words of other people I felt something about this watch. If you're here, you probably feel it too.
I took the risk of purchase but the feeling of minimalistic-doubt was always with for the whole time since I join the drop to the moment i finally received a package... well, I really didn't want to be disappointed, you know. I invested my heart, I was still in love at that time.
The moment I opened a box, it was just, fuck me, you're somehow even more beautiful in real life.
This may be, I guess, because of structure of glass on a watch. You may want to acknowledge before buying, that the glass is not attached with a border - glass is 'on top' of the watch plate. it's 2-3mm of a material. It produces an effect which reminds me late curvy iphones and samsungs with almost transparent edges. Dont' worry, it's not candy design, because this glass effect produces a really classy feeling of the dark blue metalic watch. It's beautiful.
My other concern was that I'll often misread the hands for minute, second and week, or that I'm gonna need to focus few seconds to interpret the hands properly from time to time. They are really thin as you can see on the photos (sounds like tinder, again). Of course, they're not the same width, I know... the minute-hand is bolder (and profiled) in comparison to the second-hand (but still, just slightly bolder) (and even more slight when you're on boring meeting and don't want other people to see you're secretly checking the time under the table)... and compare that second-hand to week-hand? ...when you look on the steady photo, the difference seems to be not emphasized enough. I don't know. You're not concerned at all?
So, what is it like to retrieve a time from Zeppelin beauty in the real life? I was totally surprised how much - readable - is that watch every time I check, and how easily my eyes can distinguish just-a-slightly-bolder hands, like immediately (and even on a boring meeting, from a distance). You can expect zero distraction effects. Checking a time here is pure joy.
The other stuff... Of course I needed to calibrate the watch after unboxing, you will gonna need to calibrate as well. Not a big problem, but took me a minute to understand mechanics. Two tips from me:
- quickly set a day (mon-sun) by moving minute-hand backward and forward between 23:00 and 00:00. no need to go full circle.
- date controller (1-31) doesn't work between 00:00-03:00. It took me most of calibration time to understand, why the controller is not working when I push it. I even thought watch was broken.
10/10
P.S.
There is a small distraction effect though, but I believe it will vanish soon ;)
Somewhere in a middle of a year (as it is right now - 24th week) when week-hand is almost - but in fact not - vertically 'centered' (it will be in 26th week), sometimes when you look at the watch from different perspective, like when you for example ride a car and have hand on steering wheel, you may feel that the watch-plate is skewed or rotated. And then, in that moment, you may read 19:00 instead of 20:00 (Just be aware of it to not arrive late for a date).
It's not happening when you look on the watch straightly.
You'll get use to it.
At least till the time when a week-hand will be almost horizontally 'centered' somewhere around 36th week ;)

I was just notified this morning that this watch was dropped. Why did it end so soon. I thought there was several days left on this drop. : (

SpringbloodThere has always been a limited number of items in most of the drops. Once that number is hit, the drop ends. Given this was almost $200 under what the same watch is selling for (in some locations) it sold out quickly.

JaySCTYes, a lot of drops have a limit - however this limit should be advertised. They used to advertise it before the redesign. I don't mind there being a limit, I mind the lack of transparency. If I knew this drop had such a small limit I wouldn't have waited till the end of the day to sign up and would've done it right away.

Why would you refer to the 0.01% of the watches that break the rule created by the other 99.99% ? Quartz ticks, automatic sweeps. As for this particular quartz watch, I can assure you it ticks because I own it and wear it since jan 2019. That sweep second reference on the web site must be an error

ConstantinDI think they're using the term "sweeping second hand" in the historic context. Centrally mounted second hands were referred to as sweeping because the hand would "sweep" across the face of the watch as oppose to a seconds hand that was mounted on a sub dial. The term was used well before the invention of quartz watches. You can find more watch terms here https://www.bernardwatch.com/Glossary-of-Watch-Terms

Massdrop will need to establish a rule - one customer account - one watch. Because someone bought a few dozen ... In 4 minutes!
