Leica ZM 11 Titanium Launch Edition

The ZM 11 of 2023 was Leica's first sports watch, following the camera-inspired ZM 1 and ZM 2 of 2018, and the Launch Edition is a run of 250 in sandblasted Grade 5 titanium with a black dial carrying red accents. The dial is dual-layered, with a stamped horizontal pattern that SJX likens to a shutter. The case is 41 mm across and 13 mm high, rated to 100 m, and the integrated bracelet or strap releases with a press of a red dot, modelled on the lens release of a Leica camera; the catch is that only Leica's own straps fit. Inside is the LA-3001, an automatic made by Chronode and finished in black for Leica, running at 28,800 vibrations an hour for 60 hours and regulated to minus 4 to plus 6 seconds a day in five positions. The head weighs 61 g.
