Zenith

Under Jean-Claude Biver's leadership, Zenith has reconsidered its innovative roots as the bearer for the 'future of tradition ', manifested through an astounding 2333 chronometric records and awards. The recently presented Defy Lab Oscillator (see here ) ...  

Same watch, just grey dial instead of blue! ...  

This is probably the most appealing of them all. Two-tone is on the rise, and I finally am mature enough to admit I love it! ...  

The larger brother of the original Chronomaster. A nice watch if you like the larger size, but not as compact a horological package as its smaller sibling. The subdials are also not that much separated as with the 38mm version. The reason here is that the...  

Almost the same as its two-tone sister, just a bit more formal. For me personally, the two-tone has more thrill to it. ...  

blue being favorite of mine. Zenith is back on right path...just not to loose it Cheers D

Dear Magnus, thanks a lot - again! 👍🏻 Personally I am also not a big fab of overlapping dials. But, are we the majority? If I look at the 2 pics, I wonder which one will/is selling stronger. I would be very much interested to get a feedback from Jean-Clau... 

Thanks for this background story of a bunch of chronographs influenced by PuristS feedback. Regards, MTF

for the review, Magnus! I've been particularly curious about the new and improved 38mm Chronomaster since your very first post about it soon after Baselworld. I think the way they adjusted the size and presentation of the sub-dials was a great compromise ... 

On the Zenith website they appear to be made of steel but in your picture (the one showing the movement), they appear to be gold. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me

This was a great move made by Zenith to rectify this issue, as well as their efforts to streamline their collections. The 38mm Chronomaster with blue dial or grey dial is very appealing!

BRAVO! The new versions are winners ! The 38mm blue dial is very nice . I hope to see it in the metal in Singapore Cheers Robin

Zenith did a fantastic job! i really love the new sub dials layout & size. more faithful towards the A368, IMO if only they did this 2 years earlier... sigh... nevertheless, kudos to the Zenith team! cheers

To see what is coming! Zenith has new fire burning and I believe we are going to see great things coming out of this historic house. Not long until January and a sneak peak to see what is in store! Cheers Andrew
