It is a lovely watch with an interesting variation of the EP movement. Comparing modern Zenith chronos to the Daytona is apples and oranges. Don't get me wrong, I love the Daytona with Valjoux, Zenith and in-house movements but I will never own one, as they are priced beyond my reach. In addition to supplying several other manufacturers with EP movements, they have created many designs for themselves that have stood the test of time. We can appreciate Zenith for their rich history and they stand on their own merits.
