Zenith

Fx shared some wrist shots of the Zenith 2014 novelties:

1) The  "Open" with a gorgeous blue dial (Vermot)



2) Type 20 GMT 1903 with a wonderful finish on the hour markers



3) A very nice and discrete annual calendar



4) The Captain with a wonder of a dial.



5) Another Captain in gold.



6) The Chronomaster is back! That's my object of desire.




A warm "thank you" to Foversta for showing those beauties (and to a great shirt).

Cheers,

Nilo

Several here caught my eye.... how large is the "Pilot"? Dials looks fascinating

The Pilot GMT is 48mm. I was going to buy one, but recently discovered that the Elite 693 movement that beats within is a mere 25.6mm and 3.94mm thick so the whopping size of the watch is hardly justified, so for me at least, all bets are off for any iterations of the Type 20 GMT line (this coming from an avid Zenith fan). 

I consider type 20 annual calendar with an el primero movement is much better  than the GMT as you correctly pointed out the movement is an Elite put in a casing with space for it to "sumersault" is a bit odd.

...with the Zenith star?  I mean could the open window have been in the bottom half?  The chromo seconds hand will be at rest and blocking the window that shows the moonphase most of the time.  I realize the star isn't solid, but still it seems to me that this blocks a nice feature.

Hello, Can anybody help me confirm if this Captain Winsor style (Boutique edition style w/applied numbers) is officially replacing the original Captain Winsor style (Guilloche, applied batons) of the first edition, I was told it was officially discontinued?
