A beauty

Thanks for the great review. It's a beauty of a watch and like you point out, Zeniths were and still are a great deal considering you get a high-quality, extremely accuracte, in-house chrono movement. You didn't mention it in your review, but I imagine yours is, like most Zeniths, is a very accurate time-keeper.

In Zenith's defense, I would say that the Chronomaster Open is an amazing and attractive watch. Its beauty however really comes to the fore when you see the escapement in action. That is, it's even more beatiful when it's alive and running. But I, too, had to overcome the initial shock. Now, I can't wait to get one. Its appeal is only strengthened by the uniqueness of the open dial.

I, too, expect that the classic designs will make a come-back at Zenith at some point.

I own a Breguet Type XX, so have an eye for the simple black faced chrono design. I would buy this watch over anything in their current catalogue today. Though I have to admit I would prefer the prime model - I am currently fixated on manual wind watches.... 

I hope so too Jeff

Death Defying Zeniths....

Thanks Fred for the post. I guess the current Death Defying Extremes will stop when enough PuristS have made their feelngs known... Or there is a change in Zenith management direction... MTF

Good Old Zenith
