Thanks Fx,
I was very much looking forward to this report.
I think perhaps the star of the show might all be the Ladies Heritage you posted ! That will surely make any women a happy devotee of the brand, and I love the leaf shaped hands.
Unfortunately I am not too keen on the hands for the men's line up. I guess I prefer solid hands.
I like the chocolate dial, but agree with you on the open dial. Although they look amazing and captivating when you see them for the first time, I think after a while on the wrist, one might have preferred opting for a solid dial.
And yes, also agree the elite movement is too small for these 42mm+ cases, and way too small for the 48mm Pilot GMT.
Looking forward to seeing the chocolate Chronomaster Grand Date in the metal.
Oh, and looking forward to Basel. I suspect a Regatta watch might be in the works with the recent signings on the sailing front. And Zenith recently announced a new brand ambassador, NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook, a big new step for the brand, and I suspect the work of JCB in his new role. So perhaps we might see an evolution of the Lightweight sports watch on his wrist some time soon.
Warmest,
Dean

I like all the attention to the whole package with the strap, engravings etc. Nicely executed for the sporty look the Zenith Pilot Type 20 GMT 1903 is a great offering. Thnaks for the great review. I need to go back and read it again. Bill

You have several versions of the Type 20 GMT which are available, at Basel last year the Baron Rouge version was also unveiled and it can be considered as the origin of the 1903: Fx ...
