Zenith

After last week's disturbing news of the new commemorative edition I spent a rather reassuring fine afternoon with Zenith's Miss R , again in the same coffee house Sperl as in my previous (and first) post in this series, but this time with a quite differe...  

Although 42mm works perfect, I do prefer the dial aesthetics of the 38mm El Primero's with the relatively larger subdials vs dial. The overlapping subdials not an issue as it is still readable to anyone with half a brain, and aesthetically it works better... 

and Zenith luckily provides the right tools for it... Thanks for the flowers re: imagery - always trying! Cheers, Magnus P.S.: Bad lightning in coffee shops - yes - but this was in a coffee house ... ...  

I just found a perfect 40 mm Chronomaster and paid it today. Latest on Wednesday evening I should have that on my wrist. Best, Kari

Thanks for a very interesting read Magnus and a very nice watch. I like the black dial very much. Here is my version. BR Klaus ...  

what an exciting introduction with such a wonderful watch. Which model is this? Same collection, for sure, but different subdial design and layout (indices partition different than the one I presented). Anyway, if you have more to share (images, musing, c... 

Thanks Magnus. I am a long time lurker here but being mainly a Rolex guy I have been frequenting other forums. I am a hugh fan of Zenith and my first automatic was a De Luca which I have had in almost all versions. The only Zenith I currently own is the 3...  

A very convincing photo essay, as always. The close-up shot of the sharply-edged indices is my favorite. The Zenith shows plenty of quality, which your photography really highlights. I really like some of the designs coming out of Zenith, but they still a... 

seems to be an insurmountable task... Honestly, I often shake my head if I discover those small glitches. I mentioned the subdial design incongruence but I missed the (in hindsight) obvious strangeness in their partition. Thanks for pointing this out. Suc... 

I don't own a Zenith. But if I did, this would probably be the model for me. Honestly though, every time I get close they do so,etching I don't like: open "heart" or the Rolling Stomes one those weird stars on the new moonphase. But they put out some clas... 

to discover themselves - what they are, what they want to be, how they will go there. Outliers usually plaster such a journey. With the arrival of the new CEO we certainly have interesting times ahead. Magnus

Thank you for this report and beautiful photos! :) Even if I am not a big fan of chronographs, I must say I find this one very attractive. Best Blomman
