Got this one a bit ago. It is a Graf Zeppelin "Black Line" series model that has Traser Gas Tubes on the dial (8 green and 4 orange) and hands treated with Superluminova (bright green).  It has a nicely polished 42mm case (specs say 40mm), a screw-down crown, screw-down case back with exhibition window, a sapphire crystal, orange lume dot on the bezel uni-directional rotating bezel, date window, and a Swiss ETA 25-jewel movement.

It comes with a hand stitched black strap, and a nicely done black presentation box. WR to 20AT. Made in Germany. I have been very pleased so far with the quality of the Graf Zeppelin watches.
Note: This model is not available in the U.S.

Nope. No lume shot. The Gas Tube lume is excellent though. I love the placement of the orange at 12/3/6/9. It jumps right out at you.

You do need to charge the hands. Why they and Junkers went this way, I dunno. It works in an odd way. You get the bright hit off the hands for an hour or so and then they settle in to a soft glow.

I've owned both a Junkers and a Graf Zeppelin and found both offered outstanding quality. ThumbsUp02.gif

Great looking watch, Mike. Congrats on another fine GZ. How many do you have? As I recall you might have three and each of them is very nice. Enjoy!

Looking forward to seeing the other new additions!

Thanks! I have Four GZ's now. My first one was an open-heart. I got it before IW started selling them.

Thanks for the pics! It looks fantastic. Great design.

I have also a Graf Zeppelin, The Quartz chrono from the Black Line serie (7286-2). It's one of my favorite watch!
