The Zeitwerk is the first mechanical wristwatch showing the time with digital display with jumping hour and minutes. To power 1608 jumps in 24 hours, the movement is fitted with a very thick mainspring to produce and support enough torque needed for the jumps, and a remontoire that can deliver an equal torque every minute to create the disc jump.

The Zeitwerk date has a date ring outside of the dial and the current date is highlighted in red. It also now has button at 8 to adjust the date and at 4 to set the hour.

The watch is large at 44.2mm however it is slightly slimmer than the original Zeitwerk. And it now has a longer 72-hour power reserve.
