To enhance visual appeal, the dial strips are three-dimensional in what Chaykin describes as high-relief guilloche. The letters Z-E-B-R-A are engraved around the bezel.

The lugs at the top of the case take the form of the ears of the Zebra, and the crown is neatly positioned between the bottom lugs so as not to break the symmetry of the design.

And there’s also a new complication: a crown position indicator. When the crown is pulled out, the Zebra smile at 6 o’clock changes from white to red and looks like it’s showing its tongue.

The new micro-rotor movement shares design details with Chaykin’s manual wind caliber K.01 movement, including his Pac-Man style regulator fine-tuning device that adjusts the effective length of the balance hairspring.

While real zebras are black with white stripes, the Zebra watch is a mix of both black and white stripes. The case is white (stainless steel) with black carbon fiber inserts in the bezel. The calfskin leather strap is black with white stripes, and the dial alternates distinctive white and black stripes.
