The Striking 1/10th . . .
. . . was very close to becoming a part of my collection purely on the strength of its functional relevance. The one purpose I have for a chrono is timing races, so read-out to a tenth of a second is actually useful. The reason I gave greater weight to aesthetic over technical considerations is the relative lack of opportunity . . . in my neighborhood, there's only one road race worth attending.
If you can make actual use of the Striking 1/10th, it should be a prime consideration for your collection.
Cordially,
Art
blue or red el primero
Does anyone have pictures of the red or blue el primero? love to see some images. toying with the idea of going for the striking 10th love to get any comments on this piece?? regards.
Thanks so much for assisting, Bruno. Quite coincidentally . . .
. . . I managed to try one on yesterday. The minimalist design with a touch of red flair is tasteful, no?
Agree, get both
While the Striking 10th has the more interesting movement. The Red/Blue Primeros are so attractive. And they lack the dismal subdial overlap that plagues the Striking 10th and almost all other Zeniths. I wouldn't be able to decide between the Red or Blue....
Nice wrist shot! . . .
. . . and thanks much for sharing, adawn - very kind of you. I visited my local Zenith AD yesterday . . . . . . where I finally got to try one on. It's a very compelling iteration. Cordially, Art...

Can only agree with you, Art! I love the elegance of the striking tenth
And the overlapping subdials are playing a big role in the character of the watch and its individuality. Best regards Luc
It's nice to see that at least one fellow Purist appreciates . . .
. . . the design of overlapping sub-dials! Thanks for the kind words, Luc. Most cordially, Art...
You are welcome Art, I...
You are welcome Art, I was also surprised to see the subdials so controversial, i fell in love immediately! Best regards Luc...
why not this one
this one is growing on me ... only think i don't like very much is the overlap of the subdials ... the blue or red primero doesn't have the overlap but the dial of this one is imo very attractive...
I didn't like than one at all...
... But during Basel, we also went to Geneve. Here I spent one hour in the Zenith shop and it did really grow on me. I believe the is a future classic Best Hans
AD's Red Stratos LE
Sorry for the crappy pic from a magazine, but I didn't get a wrist shot of this one that my AD had 30 of made. I tried it on when I was there and it felt huge but still very comfortable. It was on a black gator strap with red stitching. The red accents on...
Red Stratos - Better Pictures

Thanks much, J . . .
. . . for making the effort to share these images. Cordially, Art
thanks
Thanks for the pictures, the red and the blue look great. Ive been aiming to buy a Striking 10th as it is an unusual movement. There are really any Zenith's i don't like from the current collection. So confusing as i like the new Doublematic as well!!! Fo...
