Zenith

Team, Today I bumped on a friend that owns this beauty and we are discussing Zenith and the current product line. We concluded that Zenith needs a diver and ... why not this one? Imagine a reissue, 42mm (please!!!), powered by a El Primero 400Z (no date, ...

I already have one. Therefore I selfishly hope that they will not flood the market with re-editions :)))))) ...  

certainly, but I have two of these :) ...  

You are kidding me, right? 2 Air Command??? Half the production of this Watch? :) :) :) Best, Nicolas

here is the second one (sorry for the ugly strap, it was on the watch when I bought it). ...  

I know two guys here, in Paris who each own one... But I never " met " someone who owned two! ;) If you ever want to let one go... You know who to call! Best, Vlad dracul, Draculed. ;)

Truly amazing. They don't get much rare than that. Feel free to post as many scans as you like of these beauties. Darren

Yours don't have a EP inside. Cheers, Nilo

It was not long ago that Zenith had a good diver. 1000m, Helium escapement, El Primero movement, and innovative use of new alloy, Zenithium for the shock absorbing balance bridge, composed of Titanium, Aluminium and Niobium. Only problem with this one was...  

This one, from Nataf days, was an extreme design. Not for everyone tastes, me included. What I'm campaign is a more conservative diver that can explore the past with today's technology. The target is our average desk diver that don't plan to carry an anch... 

Sorry, couldn't help. In my personal opinion, this watch should be used to test its material in the Mariana Trench - and stay there. Marcus

But this watch has served me well. The Defy Extreme owners I have encountered are an eclectic and stylish bunch, and certainly not boring or conformist.

What could be this planet if everyone liked the same thing? But the Marianas Trench was a great destination (sorry Dean, I also could not resist). Cheers, Nilo

I thought comments like your Mariana Trench comment were reserved for forums like Watchuseek which is one of the reasons why I left there and set up home here. But I guess there is trash talk everywhere. Well I have a lot to learn from style gurus like yo... 

It was a simple joke to light up a boring Monday. Enjoy your watch. Cheers, Nilo

... but having accompanied Zenith a long time before they had the permission to be sold in the United States, I still consider the Nataf era to be the abyss in this great brand's history - designwise, as well as marketing-wise. Just thinking of the brand ... 

Like this Cairelli: it should have been issued long before the 58mm clocks, IMHO (image is not mine. cross-posted from search. All credits belong to original owner.) ...  

...  

For sure and the line may be even bigger. One thing that Omega seems to be doing fine (bar the obsession shared with all manufacturers with the huge watches) is to look back to their portfolio and bring updated versions (Bullhead, Speedmaster MK II etc.).... 

wish I had some pictures to post, but I would love for them to reissue the DeLuca....sigh......I'll take that over any modern Daytona's...... best taylor

Very desirable, in special the ones without "mercedes" hands. (Picture from ) That is what I call a desired watch. Cheers, Nilo ...  

yes!! that's the exact model I am talking about...!! here's hoping Zenith looks backward to move forward...:) cheers taylor

Amazes me how the watch manufacturers plays with their assets. Zenith has, as we saw on this thread, many assets on the past that could boost the company. Cheers, Nilo

But a full collection of Divers, Nilo. A time only based on the Elite or Espada caliber and a chrono would be in order and would be an instant hit! For some reason I suspect that soon Zenith might surprise us with one based on the Stratos aesthetics. Call...
