This is indeed a very attractive watch! ...
I, too, loved the "original" Chronomaster version shown in the picture, but always wondered why Zenith decided not to offer a 410 with a "Class 4" design and luminous hands that could be really seen all the time, instead of the practically useless faceted Chronomaster hands. So many people bought the Chronomaster because of its movement and beauty, only to sell it after a while because it was impossible to read the time. The problem persisted on the silver faced versions, too, but was worse with the black face variants.
I am glad to see Zenith making a not only good-looking, but also practical re-edition. The only thing I am not too happy about is the anonymous case-design, with lugs that are common on many watches from many different brands (Omega coming into my mind), while the old version had a really unique case.

... that I was mislead indeed. I just looked at other pictures of contemporary Zeniths, and they made clear that the lugs are not "twisted" inwards, but straight on the top. So there is a difference. I recall the old Chronomaster case did not have a full ...
