New Love for Zenith

When Zenith relaunched the El Primero 410 limited edition at Baselworld last year, I recalled my joy in purchasing its previous version, the Chronomaster Chronograph Moonphase with annual calendar. It also revisited the pain of selling it subsequently.

So when I saw this exclusive limited edition of 500 pieces in the local boutique last month, there can only be one outcome. A timely Christmas gift to myself :)

The slate grey sunray dial and indices on the dial are beauties to behold. Would prefer 100m WR and size of 40mm given my small wrist. Well, this is still as close to the perfect luxury sports watch IMHO.

Enough said, here's the pic

Thanks Patrick, it is because of this topic I started looking for this model.
Luckily I too was able to secure one of the 500.

Also thanks to Bruno for trying to get me one locally.

A month or so ago I felt the time was right to buy an other nice watch. Had my eye on several brands.

Rolex, Breitling, IWC, JLC and a few more were in the running. But when I saw this one here and learned I had a change of still getting one I just had to have it.

What a sublime piece ! And for what you get not expensive at all. Zenith is very underrated at the moment and a true bargain.

Beautiful watch! I'm very interested in one but have 2 'issues' with the design; 1st, the stars at 10:00 & 2:00 & 2nd, the star of the central seconds hand potentially covering the moonphase. Admittedly, these are issues only apparent to me in pics as I don't have a local Zenith AD. I'd love to hear from you both as to your thoughts on these design 'choices'.
