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.
Thanks for reminding us of how good it could be. I think in a few years they might return to the roots a bit more - Zenith should create a "historic" or "heritage" line distinct for the ultra-extreme-defy-whatever stuff. My first watch was a 37mm Elite that I sill like and wear for dressy occasions. I fell in love with the El Primero back then and will seriously consider picking up one over the next 18 months of financial carnage as hopefully a great deal will surface that I can't pass up.
Cheers, Jeff

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
