That is lovely. It's unusual to see chrono and calendar complications in the same watch, but it's all laid out sensibly. My favourite detail is the graduations on the edge of the date window so it doesn't interfere with the chrono measurement.

I'm a Zenith fan...but the date window on that is an abomination.
Mmmm - I kind of see what you mean, it's a little unconventional, but I suspect it's a lot more readable for those with ageing eyes than a small, regular sized window would be.Originally Posted by bedlam
It's certainly not an 'abomination', in my opinion (certainly better to my eye than a Cyclops).

It's untidy, but still having the chronograph markings on it really shows the primary purpose of the watch. I like it.
In terms of horology for your money, a triple calendar with moonphase combined with a 36,000vph chronograph. Pre-owned, there is nothing on the market to touch it, a JLC Master with EITHER a chronograph or calendar costs double straight off the bat and quality is on a par.
That date window design is on some quite old vintage Zeniths. In general I dislike most date windows, but this one is so extreme I find it almost endearing.

Your right Steven, a stunning watch and very under appreciated, I'm missing it already! :)
Haha, sorry Steve I didn't mean to give you traders remourse with my review!!. Seriously though, loving the watch as I'm sure you can see. Incidently, someone asked what was with the hands as they look silver in one picture and red / rose gold in another. I was wearing a red shirt when I took the picture and thats the hands catching the reflection, they're that well polished!!
I was reading the intro post and assumed this would be a 7k watch, shockingly good value at 2-3k. I'm green, and now possibly looking at one for the future!
Back of the queue please
Definitely a watch that suits a leather strap
I read somewhere that the hands and Roman numeral hour markers are White Gold which might be the reason.Haha, sorry Steve I didn't mean to give you traders remourse with my review!!
Have to echo Lewis' comments on the watch.
You made an excellent choice to have it Steven!!!
