that one picture is probably taken from their own website LOL. To be sure I'll have to ask Patrick. The pictures I used were his. I forgot my camera and I took some pics with my smartphone but these were too terrible, too terrible to post them here. On my smartphone's screen they were acceptable, on a laptop it was a disaster.
Your other question 'Which affordable model do you think is representative of Zenith ', is more difficult to answer ...
I think I would say it has to be the El Primero 1969. This is imo the same as the Reverso for JLC, the Submariner for Rolex, etc. On the other hand, I do know quite a few guys who like 'classic' watches and they seem to like watches like the Captain moonphase or the Power reserve. And to give you a third option ... I really like the Pilot Type 20. I love my original with 5011K movement but that is too big to wear on daily basis (57.5mm). But now they will launch them in 48 and even 1 in 40mm. I think that might become an important one too. It might attract some Panerai fans

Looking forward to that. My girlfriend absolutely loves my Type 20, but it is way too big for her (thankfully!). Excited to see the novelties coming out of Basel. The Baron Rouge sounds nice....
