![]() Moonphase advancement happens between midnight and about 3am, which is about typical. Date change is very crisp and aligned at midnight exactly. Overall fit and finish is quite good, as befitting all Zenith watches. Plus the display is larger than you would find typically for a sun/moonphase. It has a rough painted look to it which for me, adds loads of class. In all honesty, this sun/moon phase is the most detailed and picturesque that I've seen from any watch ( see the pictures above ). But damn it if they're not pretty Zenith overlays a transparent disk with two metallic moons that rotates once per 59 days over a very intricately drawn sun phase disk that rotates once every 24 hours to achieve the sun+moonphase in one clean display. In practicality, both indicators have little use. on the 42mm models this is much less pronounced and looks a bit more natural.įinally, one of the biggest draws for me was the Sun and Moonphase indicator. It's very obvious that the escapement is set very "deep" into dial on the 45mm models as you see a lot of "wall" along the open heart. the 42 mm models, the 45mm models are much thicker, and you can see this in the sides of the open heart. I can look at it all day One thing about the 45mm vs. The open heart showing the escapement is mesmerizing. Possibly this can be tweaked at service, but it's not a big deal for me right now. The big date looks good, although it is not as "crisp" and aligned as a GO. Larger hands with lume and applied indexes with lume replace last year's pointed hands and applied roman numerals. Last years model had a smaller dial set inside a 45mm case. For me this helps to offset the large dial, and makes it wear smaller. The dial itself got a bit busier with a circular metallic ring around the outside of the dial. They went to a circular buzzer type button for the chrono operation this year instead of last year's oval shape. Start/Stop/Reset all have a solid and satisfying push. The Chronograph is identical to the other Zenith chronos I've tried, top knotch with the 36kvph movement. The case is a very familiar feel as I believe it is shared across all 45mm Zeniths (Class and Chronomaster). Movement: El Primero 4047, 3650 Hr Power reserveįeatures: Chronograph, Open heart dial, Big date, Sun and MoonPhase, Confusing seconds indicator.Īt 45mmx17mm, this watch is proooobably too big for me I actually swore never to get anything > 42mm again, but I fell in love with the combined feature set here.
