The Lucky Harvey Rabbit is sold in two colorways at the identical price, which means the only real decision is which dial you want on your wrist. This review puts the Black Silver ZLS201-1 and the Red ZLS201-2 side by side — same movement, same case, same $1,399.99 — and covers sizing, water resistance and whether the automaton dial is worth the money before you pick a color.
Verdict: buy a Lucky Harvey Rabbit if you want a 925 silver automaton dial with a koi-and-butterfly scene and a genuinely limited edition — under 600 pieces either way — at a single USD price of $1,399.99. The trade-off is a large 43 x 15mm case and a brand still building a long-term service record.
Pick Silver if: ZLS201-1 Black Silver Rabbit, $1,399.99 — the black dial and silver-tone case, easier to wear with more of your wardrobe, 588 pieces.
Pick Red if: ZLS201-2 Red Rabbit, $1,399.99 — more color contrast and the rarer 388-piece run.
Buy something else if you want a different animal: the ZLS105-1 Red Lion Dance costs $1,199.99, or you want a gold-bead dragon or a chiming horse automaton — see the Dragon and Horse pieces below.
Left: the ZLS201-1 Black Silver Rabbit, $1,399.99 — 43mm, LH002 automatic, 588 pieces. Right: the ZLS201-2 Rose Gold Red, 388 pieces.
What is the Lucky Harvey Rabbit watch?
The Lucky Harvey Rabbit is a zodiac-themed automatic watch sold in two limited editions, the ZLS201-1 Black Silver and the ZLS201-2 Red. Lucky Harvey describes a 925 silver dial finished with low-temperature enameling: a golden moon rising over a rabbit by a riverbank, with a koi fish that, per the listing, moves along with a butterfly — that moving detail is the automaton element of the scene.
The model sits in Lucky Harvey's wider line of zodiac and animal-themed automatics — the same idea the brand applies to its Dragon and Lion Dance pieces, each built around a different animal and a different dial treatment. If you want the brand's full backstory before spending four figures on one, our Lucky Harvey brand guide and who makes Lucky Harvey watches cover where the company comes from and what it discloses about manufacturing.
Lucky Harvey Rabbit Silver vs Red: what actually differs?
Dial color, case tone and edition size. The ZLS201-1 pairs a black dial with a silver-tone case and is limited to 588 pieces; the ZLS201-2 pairs a red dial with a rose-gold-tone case and is limited to 388. Both run the same LH002 movement, share a 43 x 15mm 316 stainless steel case rated to 5 ATM, and cost the same $1,399.99 — pick on color and rarity, not spec.
Beyond color and edition size, nothing on the spec sheet differs. Case material, movement, dimensions, water resistance, strap material and buckle are identical on paper between the two references — the catalog specs for each list the same numbers, down to the 32-jewel count. If you're deciding between them, the question is really "silver or red," not "which is the better watch."
Comparison table: Rabbit Silver vs Red
| Edition | Color | Movement | Case | Water resistance | Edition size | Price | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZLS201-1 | Black Silver | LH002 | 43 x 15mm, 316 stainless steel | 5 ATM | 588 pieces | $1,399.99 | Buyers who want a dial that pairs easily with other watches and outfits |
| ZLS201-2 | Red | LH002 | 43 x 15mm, 316 stainless steel | 5 ATM | 388 pieces | $1,399.99 | Buyers who want the rarer run and more color on the dial |
The ZLS201-2 Red Rabbit, $1,399.99 — same 43 x 15mm case, 388 pieces.
What movement is in the Lucky Harvey Rabbit?
Both editions use Lucky Harvey's LH002 automatic movement: 32 jewels, running at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Our listing doesn't state a power reserve for LH002 — unlike the LH013 in the Horse, which carries a brand-stated 40 hours — so we won't quote a figure we can't back up.
The Dragon's LH001 is listed with the same 32 jewels and 28,800 vph, but the catalog gives the two different calibre names and doesn't explain what separates them. As with most of this brand's output, these figures come from Lucky Harvey's own spec sheet rather than independent testing, so read them as brand-stated rather than verified.
How big is the Lucky Harvey Rabbit watch on the wrist?
Both editions measure 43mm across and 15mm thick — a genuinely large, tall case. That's two millimeters taller than Lucky Harvey's own 13mm-thick Dragon, so expect it to sit high under a shirt cuff and suit a 7-inch-plus wrist better than a slim one.
The 316 stainless steel case and the Fluororubber-and-leather strap (closed with a 316L pin buckle) are the same on both editions, so weight and wrist feel shouldn't differ between Silver and Red — only the dial does. If 15mm sounds thick for daily wear, it's worth trying the watch on before committing, since neither the retailer listing nor Lucky Harvey's spec sheet gives a lug-to-lug figure to plan around.
Can you wear the Lucky Harvey Rabbit every day?
Day to day, yes, within limits. Lucky Harvey rates both editions at 5 ATM, which typically covers splashes, rain and washing your hands, and the strap combines fluororubber with leather. Whether 5 ATM is enough for swimming is a separate question — see our breakdown of what that rating actually covers.
For the full explanation of what a 5 ATM or 50-meter rating does and doesn't allow — and where the line sits before you'd want something rated higher — read can you swim with a 50m watch? rather than guessing from the number alone. The catalog lists the strap as fluororubber plus leather, so it should cope with a splash better than a plain leather band while still looking dressier than an all-rubber strap.
Is the Lucky Harvey Rabbit watch worth $1,399.99?
If you want a 925 silver enamel-scene dial with a moving koi-and-butterfly detail and a limited run under 600 pieces, yes, with caveats. It's a young brand with a short track record, a large 43 x 15mm case, and a price other retailers have reportedly set higher — call it fair, not a bargain.
Lucky Harvey is a young brand, and resale values and long-term service support for a movement like LH002 simply don't have the track record that a Seiko or an ETA-based piece does. Buy it to wear, not as a store of value. Against that, $1,399.99 for an enameled 925 silver dial and a genuinely limited run is a specific, checkable number — not a discount-coded "sale" price — and other listings for this same reference have reportedly run higher before any local tax is added, which makes the flat USD price here easier to compare against.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
It's for someone who already likes the idea of a zodiac-animal automaton dial and wants a large, conversation-piece watch rather than a subtle one. The 925 silver dial work and the limited-edition numbering (588 or 388 pieces) are the actual draw here, not outright horological pedigree.
Skip it if you have a smaller wrist that won't carry a 43 x 15mm case comfortably, if you need dive-grade water resistance rather than a 5 ATM (50-meter) rating, or if you're buying primarily for resale value and service infrastructure rather than for wearing it. For a broader look at what moving-dial watches cost and do before narrowing to the Rabbit specifically, our affordable automaton watches roundup is a useful next stop.
Other Lucky Harvey animal pieces: Dragon, Lion and Horse
If the Rabbit's price or size doesn't fit, Lucky Harvey's other animal-themed automatics sit at different points on both. The ZLS202-1 Silver Dragon and ZLS202-3 Green Dragon run LH001 in a 43 x 13mm case — two millimeters thinner than the Rabbit — for $1,899.99, with a hand-engraved 925 silver dragon on the dial. Our full Lucky Harvey Dragon review covers both colorways in more depth.
For something smaller and with a chiming complication, the ZLS502-1 Chiming Automaton Horse drops to a 39 x 9.8mm Grade 5 titanium case, adds a chiming mechanism (a passing strike, not a minute repeater) alongside the horse automaton, and runs LH013 with a brand-stated 40-hour power reserve, at $2,399.99 for a 100-piece limited run. For more horse-themed options, see our guide to horse watches for men. And if budget matters more than complication, the ZLS105-1 Red Lion Dance is the cheapest of the group at $1,199.99, on the same LH001 movement in a 43 x 15mm case, rated to 3 ATM rather than 5.
The ZLS502-1 Chiming Automaton Horse, $2,399.99 — 39mm titanium, 100 pieces.
The ZLS105-1 Red Lion Dance, $1,199.99 — 43mm, LH001 automatic, 3 ATM.
Which Lucky Harvey Rabbit should you buy?
Buy the Silver ZLS201-1 if you want the easier color to wear and the larger 588-piece run; buy the Red ZLS201-2 if you want the rarer 388-piece run and don't mind a bolder dial. Both cost $1,399.99, and both are in stock.
There's no spec-based tiebreaker here — the movement, case, water resistance and strap are identical, so the only honest advice is to choose the dial color you'll actually want to look at every day. Both the Black Silver Rabbit and the Red Rabbit are in stock now with worldwide shipping and buyer protection on the order.
