What's with the 70K??? From Mr Porter website:

USD8600 pre-order:
Limited to just 50 pieces, this El Primero Revival A384 'Edge of Space' reference pays homage to Zenith's El Primero calibre on its 50th birthday. Housed in the 1969 original titanium 37mm case with a handsome blue dial, it's powered by a precise 13 1/4''' automatic chronograph movement and offers a 50-hour power reserve. The anti-reflective domed sapphire glass crystal will ensure you can tell the time in bright sunlight, while the exhibition case back allows you to appreciate the oscillating weight and Côtes de Genève engravings within. It's individually numbered to denote its exclusivity. We offer a two-year warranty for all working parts and manufacturing faults for luxury watches.

It's dark, matte and stealthy and, if you want that look, imho it works and you should go for it. I agree with
@michael22 the white date window isn't great but that's not a showstopper for me. A contrast orange chrono hand would be interesting but then it wouldn't be a stealthy edge-of-space watch any more. My only concern is what the Ti case, pushers and crown will end up looking like over time with wear and knocks. The sandblasted surface might get polished and look like crap.
