Thank you Marcus!
I really appreciate your comments. I felt like I had some things to learn about better review writing after reading your recent Carl F. Bucherer one. The pictures are of course as always a result of AT's photographic magic. Feelings of jealousy can be directed towards him 
You are right though. The Zenith is a true classic and such a smart buy for a lady. Thanks again for the feedback.
Zenith Elite Ultra Thin Lady Moonphase - "On-the-Wrist" Review
It goes without saying that visual grazers of this website who are chock full of horologic “opinion, passion and information” have a high standard when making watch purchases for themselves. Sometimes it’s about the brand – the so called Jaegers, Pateks, ...
very, very classy
Thanks for the detailed review. I thought it seemed bigger but after looking at your wrist shot, it fits perfectly and it looks superb. And it looked like you had fun too!
It's always fun...
...looking at a watch close up and discovering all the little nuances about it. Thanks for reading.
What an excellent review!!
It was a pleasure to read, and the pictures are simply marvelous, and make me jealous! I consider this Zenith a truly classic ladies' timepiece: not flashy, a hint of informality, highest quality ... Thank you for your great insights! Marcus

I wouldn't call it ultra thin, as it is not.
BUT this is a surprise, and an excellent one! A dressy, very elegant and refined watch, this s what it is! Nothing can't beat a " on the wrist " review, and even more true when it comes from our Ping. Superbly written, as always, and great pics, too. Than...
Zenith uses the "UT" words several times...
And it is not justified. Let's think that the Elite Ultra Thin is almost 8mm thick! Come on guys... Fx
"ultrathin" is the justified, IMHO ...
Since its presentation in 1994 (I believe), the cal. 6xx Elite was one of the thinnest automatic movements made, With its 3.28 mm height, I think it was the second thinnest selfwinding movement with permanent second and date, beaten only by the Longines L...
Thank you Nicholas!
For your nice comments. You are right. When I saw the measurements it didn't seem all that thin but when worn on the wrist it does feel quite thin. Perhaps they used the word "ultra" liberally. Thanks again!
Maybe even better in ladies version
Ping, Thanks for the review. I mis-read the title and did not notice the 'Lady Moonphase' part so I thought it was just another view of the watch I saw last week. Looking at the Lady Moonphase you reviewed, it may even be better proportioned because the m...
Yes, have to admit.
We ladies lucked out here and got the better looking watch. Although the men's version is still an elegant classic design. Thank you for your feedback MTF.
The Lady Moonphase is a great watch...
Mainly because it has a perfect size for an Elite caliber. This will be always a trouble for Zenith: the calibers diameter (both EP and Elite) make the use of large case diameter difficult for them. Anyway, this Lady Moonphase is beautiful, balanced and v...
re: Elite
I really like the Elite Moonphase, Zenith got it right with this one! Great review and thanks for your insights. -MW
Thank you very much, Ping...
That watch has gone from 'unknown' yesterday to 'must buy for Mrs pplater' today. Cheers, pplater.
Thank you for the review
I agree that this is a real alternative in ladies' automatic watches. It is not particularly to my taste, but it is an classic styled everyday watch a woman might choose for herself to wear to the office in US and Europe. Hence the grey rather than white ...
Interesting points.
Thank you Ginger for your comments. I think you are right that non-WIS ladies find display backs on watches to be a novelty . Female watches that have them are often at higher price points so Zenith has made this feature extremely accessible to a wider ra...
Another terrific review Ping. I HIGHLY recommend this watch for any lady PuristS
or for any male PuristS looking to purchase a timepiece for his loving wife / gf. I hardly ever recommend any specific watch, but this Zenith Lady Moonphase is one heck of a bargain for what you get. With a retail price of less than $4k, you get a reliabl...
Btw, anyone watch the video at the very end of the post?
Notice the star tattoos on Ping's wrist? Happens to match the Zenith Star Thought I'd point out this coincidence! Cheers, Anthony...
Well, that just about . . .
. . . puts a lid on it, Anthony - Ping has to have this watch! Christmas is only three months away ;-) . . .
Beautiful watch!
Great review – I really enjoy these kind of in depth reviews! The watch fits your wrist perfectly. Thank you for sharing with us, Ping! Best Blomman
Great review, Ping!
I like the ladies' version better than the men's version in this case. It's always surprising to me when that happens. The dial is well laid-out and extremely attractive. Coupled with the price point, I think this makes an extremely good buy! Thanks for t...
Seems like a lot of people agree...
...that the ladies version is better proportioned than the mens. Although the Men's Ultra Thin without moonphase looks cleaner and well balanced. Thanks for the comments Daos!
Embarassing admission: I could take . . .
. . . the Lady Elite over the Men's version for myself . The overall size, proportions, and particularly movement fit are, in my humble opinion, better suited for a slender wrist. The rose gold model could easily be worn by a man in a formal setting. Than...
Don't be embarassed...
...seems like you are not alone Maybe Zenith needs to rethink the design on the mens version. Thanks Art for your comments.
