Zenith

Thanks for sharing photos, golfzhu. The dial . . .

 

. . . is nicely apportioned between the subsidiary seconds dial, moonphase indicator, and large date.  I'd say it's uncommonly well-balanced aesthetically given the level of complexity.

Masthead honors for your latest passion.

Cordially,

Art

My first zenith

Guys, just got back from Europe. Bought myself a Zenith Elite moonphase. It is so beautiful. And the price is amazing. My first white dial. Now I have 8 watches. BTW, I almost bought another Rolex to add to my first SS Daytona. The prices there at the air... 

Congratulations! The new Elite moonphase was . . .

. . . DRMW's favorite Zenith when he visited their display last month at JCK. Here are Marcus's photos from Basel . . . . . . to tide us over until you can take a set of photos. Cordially, Art...

Congrats Golfzhu. Btw, which airport did you purchase it ? Kong

Paris Airport

it is called ROYAL QUARTZ ROISSY CDG. duty free price is 4,136 Euro.

Thanks ...

Wow....Paris,somehow the luxury goods are very attractively priced versus our regions :-( Now with the super strong CHF, wonder what next over here...hopefully not another adjustment. Kong

I was amazed

They have rolex watches too. I couldn't believe my eyes. a submariner selling for 4,650 euro duty free! It is the previous model not the current one btw. compared to Sydney that is an amazing price. I found things to be very competitively priced in europe... 

Dangerous!:-)

Most of my friends went there by business class (minimum) for the checked baggage allowance and also the queue to clear VAT fast Back with more than 1 watch then? Kong

Yes

I bought a Daytona SS Black Dial when I left Australia for Europe. It was pretty difficult to get. I think I understand why the Elite looks so good despite having an off centre star and sundials. it is these powerful and elegant hour markers. They are qui... 

This Elite Captain Phase de lune is nice ...

though the design is asymmetrical, but balance as you said. It also not cluttered with more white space as the area at 3H is left blank instead of putting a non-value-added word "Automatic" in their other Elite Class moonphase models. With just bar type h... 

The subdials may be assymetrical . . .

. . . but their centers form a geometrically ideal 3/4/5 ratio right triangle. Subliminal, to be sure, but aesthetically compelling, nonetheless . . .

Mystical ....Pythagoras' theorem ...

Thanks Art... that's explain it ...sacred geometry at play. Kong

Congrats on your new Zenith
