Unique and rare Zenith
I just acquired this, and have only seen one other of this reference (03.0520.400). I really dig the dial - busy, but also very striking. It looks black, but actually (hard to capture) is kind of a dark chocolate brown. And of course the el Primero - running flawlessly. It's big (43mm) and high-grade in every respect. Enjoy.....

the bloody date!
In this instance it really doesn't bother me much. The dial is complex, the date ring is black, and thus it doesn't stand out as much as others might. But I do hear you.
Very Nice
I had the same exact piece. Congrats. I also looks good on a dark alligator withe orange stitches.
I can see the dial is dark brown
43mm is exact, and i see the lugs made for me. Yes, the date. No problem for me, but i understand it’s not everyones choice. And i do not even set dates correct on my watches, cause it is for me for the show. Enjoy your rare and unique Zenith.
This is fantastic. What a find. Many congratulations.
43mm you say? That's a proper man-sized watch for something that is so delicate in aspect. I don't mind the date window at all so long as the date disk is tone-on-tone as you (and others?) have remarked. It is however the absolute ruin of watches where th...
The similarities......
Interesting. These are very similar, but mine has a larger case and the overall style of the dial and hands, is quite different. But both just great. Yours is very elegant, whereas mine is a bit sportier. Same attention to detail though, and the movement ...
Typically not a fan of "busy" watches...
But this is a rare case of aesthetics outweighing practicality. I absolutely love this piece! Congratulations!
