BMW Z Watch !!! ULTRA RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE MODEL !!! DISCONTINUED MODEL AND ONLY 2000 PIECES EVER MADE !!! A MILESTONE IN THE WATCH'S HISTORY !!! The world's first <<Automatic Digital Watch>> !!! GRAB A HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE PIECE OF ART !!!
The innovative Z-Watch, a digital watch with automatic movement, that won the Red Dot for Supreme Quality in Design on account of its particular qualities created by BMW's designers !!!"The really good news is that the jury has awarded prizes to the entire range of products made by our studios", stated at that time, the BMW's Chief Designer Chris Bangle, lauding the success of his team on a very positive note. "Particularly the design award going to our Z-Watch proves that our designers apply the same high standard of design to our accessories and lifestyle products as to the cars and motorcycles we create."In its Design Innovation Contest, the North Rhine Westfalian Design Center awards the Red Dot each year as one of the world's most significant prizes in product design. Made up of acknowledged experts in design and design practitioners, the jury takes their decision according to criteria such as the degree of innovation, functional quality, and ergonomics. In 2001, out of 1,523 entries, 32 products received the Red Dot - Best of the Best and 330 products the Red Dot.
The BMW Z-Watch did indeed receive great attention from the jury, this innovative time-piece leaving a great impression on the experts for the simple fact that on a small scale it bears out all the features that make BMW cars and motorcycles so outstanding in their design on a large scale: the sophisticated and clear outer lines forego any exaggerated decoration, making the watch a genuine sculpture from the start. And it is at the same time the outer "shell" of the watch that gives the highly functional and elaborate technology the right look in a very understated, unpretentious style. Naturally, the Z-Watch also displays its superior technology whenever the owner would like to marvel at this achievement: all you have to do is take off the watch to see the power pack providing the energy through the glass bottom. Inside the Z-Watch a micro-generator converts the kinetic energy you generate on your wrist into electric power fed to the digital electronic drive. This direct symbiosis of sophisticated mechanical components and innovative electronics also reveals the common philosophy shared by the Z-Watch and BMW cars. The name of the watch, incidentally, comes from the Z-shaped closing mechanism, although there is no denying that this name also - quite intentionally - bears a certain resemblance to specific BMW products.
I also have it in my personal collection and simply adore it. The display is very clear and the digits are very crisp. It's so simple in design and yet is so magical, that whenever I look at the time, I am amazed of it's beauty. The Z Watch will never leave my collection. The design of the watch is simple, not complex. Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing !!! Simplicity is sometimes elusive, but almost always present. Sometimes you just need to know where to look for it, or how to look for it. Luckily, the sages of the ages have shared lots of thoughts on simplicity in the form of nature design that we can borrow and build on !!! PERFECT THROUGH SIMPLICITY !!!
BMW # 80 26 0 026 213 !!! TRULY SWISS ENGINEERED !!! You will own #2233 of 2000 pieces ever made !!!
This piece of art was created in a joint development of BMW with Ventura, renowned Swiss watch manufacturer. The BMW Digital Watch runs on power supplied by a micro generator system (MGS) transforming wrist movements into electricity; there is no need for a battery. Time, date and the display format (12h am/pm or 24h military time) are intuitively set with the winding crown. A <<Sleep mode>> switches of the LC display automatically if the watch is not moved for an hour and thus conserves energy. In the normal mode (watch running), the power reserve is approx. 3 months; in storage mode (crown pulled), the energy is stored for a long time, in fact, even after 5 years, about 50% of the power remains available to run the watch instantly. A flashing symbol warns when the remaining power reserve falls bellow 12 hours. Add to this a unique font for the numerals on the electronic displays, created on advice of none less than Adrian Frutiger, the founder of modern typography.
The BMW designers have wrapped this state of the art technology into an elegant and timeless form. The case is made of stainless steel with a light grey finish; the two crystals are made of scratch resistant sapphire, virtually scratch proof, only Diamond (10) being harder then Sapphire (9). The watch is secured on your wrist by a black fine calfskin waterproof leather band and a stainless steel buckle with a grey finish to match the case. The BMW Digital Watch withstands a pressure of 3 bar, equivalent to a water depth of 30 meters /100 feet.
Every Ventura Watch is individually built from scratch. Ventura is the only Swiss "Manufacture électronique" engaged in making high-quality digital timepieces. All movements and time-modules are developed in-house and painstakingly built by craftsmen in a well-equipped manufacturing environment in their facilities located in Switzerland and in Germany. While it surely would be cheaper to produce within a production chain, they prefer to maintain a “manufacture” system, in which their watchmakers build every watch entirely from scratch, from the careful assembly of the movement to the finishing touches on the final timepiece. Ventura builds timepieces of the future, because time can not stand still !!!BMW Digital Watch specifications:functions:

Buying the watch from me will bring you on the long term, besides the satisfaction of owning an superb timepiece, free dedicated technical support: need an extra link? I can try and locate it; broke the mineral/sapphire crystal glass? will search the best one for your watch; any other problems/advice about the watch or watches and movements in general? message me and will do my best to help you, since you are my customer and Bimmer friend. FREE SHIPPING !!! IT DOES NOT EXIST !!! Whenever you see a seller that uses this 2 cents marketing strategy, avoid him, unless he is the only one with that item. Be sure, that when he set up his price on the item, the ,,free shipping" was included in the final price. I prefer to buy from an honest seller, then from a lying one !!! I respect my customers and that is why I don't use, as a rule, the ,,free shipping". You will see me use it, only on a few items, as a discount tool !!!LIGHT !!! All the pictures of my items are made under natural light !!! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! Under artificial light the real color is distorted and some defects ,,are not seen" !!! My buyers are smart, they won't fall for the old trick with extra light !!!Water Resistance
....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs.Here are the facts in plain English:
1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory.
Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch»2. HOWEVER:
The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition.
I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours.On a side-note: Only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do.Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something. Ask before buying, not after. I will consider that you accepted my terms and description.If you are looking for a specific model and I don't have it listed, please ask me. I may have it in my collection or I can find it for you. I mainly sell vintage watches. They MAY have flaws associated with age (leather is the culprit), and are not perfect. Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something.I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple items, so please take a look at my other watches / items !!!I love all of my buyers, but:I find it, clean it, research it, purchase boxes, peanuts, tissue, bubble wrap and pay both ebay and Paypal fees. My shipping charges cover tracking number and insures your package (just in case of bad luck). I will mark the package as a gift. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to offer free shipping and still stay in business.
Shipping is clearly stated and I make no profit on it. If that does not rate 5 stars, perhaps I am not the seller for you.
Estimated delivery time after item shipped:
EUROPE 3-5 business days
REST OF WORLD 7-14 business days
I ship within 3 business days of your payment (I am studying, which is a the 1st priority for me before everything, including ebay).

....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs.Here are the facts in plain English:
1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory.
Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch»2. HOWEVER:
The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition.
I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours.On a side-note: Only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do.Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something. Ask before buying, not after. I will consider that you accepted my terms and description.If you are looking for a specific model and I don't have it listed, please ask me. I may have it in my collection or I can find it for you. I mainly sell vintage watches. They MAY have flaws associated with age (leather is the culprit), and are not perfect. Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something.I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple items, so please take a look at my other watches / items !!!I love all of my buyers, but:I find it, clean it, research it, purchase boxes, peanuts, tissue, bubble wrap and pay both ebay and Paypal fees.
