Zenith Chronomaster Original LE For Hodinkee
The dial is sublime and the overall package is pretty great. The salmon and three grey colors work well, IMHO. Well done Zenith and Hodinkee.
Another great feature: no Hodinkee co-branding! The 300 pieces sold out in one day….. pics from Fratello. |

Looks great. Wish it had been a non-diamond Defy in smaller size, though

I like Zenith and have been a fan of Hodinkee LEs, but this one just doesn't do it for me. The contrast is too much.

i don't get the salmon thing. i've tried, though. maybe my rods and cones don't let me appreciate it, or something.

To be fair, at least they made the additional effort to have the date wheel match.
I saw it yet decided to pass. Will probably regret that, but future commitments.... Looks really nice to me.

Very nice. I was watching this morning. Hodinkee had 150, Zenith had 150. They were sold out in 30-40 min tops. For those that purchased, enjoy!

I think this is a home run and I wish I bought one today. Absolutely gorgeous.

Too much salmon. I’m ready for the return of champagne dials!

Not really a fan of this but I also can’t stand Hodinkee so I’m a little biased.

I got one of these, it was a bit of an impulse buy so I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I also have the Antarctique salmon on order so might be a bit salmon overkill...I'll probably flip it and break even.
And I can't stand Hodinkee either, but, thankfully, there's no branding on the watch. |

It’s really nice. LVMH Zenith really pulling out the stops for its stablemate Hodinkee.

Not for me but I can appreciate it as a good looking watch. It would be nice to see the LE/SE trend die off and watch companies just make watches for people to purchase and enjoy.

This is one of the best looking Hodinkee LEs from the bunch. Zeniths generally wear large, but sadly I think it would still be way too small for me. I almost want to buy it just to be sure, but I probably won't, this time around at least. |

Some of the Hodinkee SEs sell out so fast that I often wonder why the even bother advertising them after the initial announcement.
The 38mm Zenith wears OK lug-to-lug for me, but has a visually smaller presence on the wrist. I find their 40mm to work best for me (but, to split-hairs, 39mm would probably be perfect). Also, I thought this was the color of salmon:

I managed to cancel my hodinkee order and order one from zenith UK 2 days after the launch so that saves me a couple of grand on import fees
