Less happy about the size - 45 mm for this kind of watch is on the upper limit for me.
But, in your wrist shots the watch doesn't look 45, more like 42 mm...

e.g. the perfectly usable and visible subdials PLUS the complete calendar. But you are right, 42mm would probably make it perfect. Thanks, Magnus

Since you handled it I have to think you are correct about the 45mm size. However, the Zenith site shows it to be 42mm just like the other two current 410 variations. I have the steel/silver dial version on my short list but I started thinking about the b...

However, blue may still have a place in my future. Actually, I'm really happy to get the silver since it had been on my wish list since it came out in this 410 variation. ...

... where I saw this exact watch in the window of our local Zenith dealer. I thought by myself: "Ay, what a nice watch!". At first, I assumed it to be an earlier Charly Vermot edition, due to the blue dial, until I saw the windows of the full calendar ind...
