What should Zenith do?

This is a fun question. Zenith is a great brand, but it has gone through so many design directions that it doesn’t have a predictable look. Essentially now they have the Chronomaster, which is aping the Daytona, and the Defy which is kind of aping the Roy

The Revival Shadow has been on my wrist for almost three full weeks…
