That is one beautiful watch. It's got a major drool factor going for it. I'm slobbering over it right now.

Your watch is extra special due to the additional complications.

I'm an admirer of the classic Zenith.

Alas I've not got any Zeniths at present, loved and flogged these two.

When I get my 1675 back from it's service I'll do a group shot. It's down to 8 watches at the mo.

What a cracking looking watch.
Is it still in current production?
What metal is made from?

yes it's still in production
you have them with this silver dial, black dial and guilloché
this one is 40 mm and only available in 40 mm
the guilloche is als 42 or 45 mm

And as you know, Zenith can be found with a huge discount.
If you're interested, I know a very, VERY good dealer 'not an AD) which offers unbelievable discounts (PM me if you wanne know more)

I have an order in for the exact watch, with the bracelet as opposed to strap. The dealer is having some difficulty procuring, but assures me he can "get 'er done !" Evidently the Moonphase with bracelet is being discontinued, but the strap version is still available. I suppose one could swap out the strap for a bracelet, but the bracelet alone is quite pricey - on the order of $1500 or so.
El Primero movement rocks !
