I was browsing the Zenith site, seeing the novelties and a watch (yes, I know that is not a new release) got my attention. 42mm, fits my wrist and I'm a sucker for big date. Love the very balanced dia

Team, First of all, I want to say a very warm  thank you  to this community that makes our hobby so interesting and fun, at the same time  Pursuing integrity and perfection in an imperfect world .
