Just yesterday took delivery of this incredible and very I’ve found unusually seen Zenith Elite Classic 39mm (Ref. 03.2290.679) from 2020.

Very little online about this watch but it is incredible.
No pic I can post will do the dial justice.
The smoked grey, black dial changes and depends on the light, sometimes the smoked, colour gradient is dark grey and other times black and sometimes has a warm, almost brownish hue, it’s never the same.

There is a great review, the only one online at all that I can find if you are interested with some nice pics;

couldn’t be happier.
All the best.

Wow, that is lovely and those watchpaper images of the dial are fabulous. Can I trouble you for a lug to lug distance? (I have a small wrist).

Thank you!

Thank you. That should just fit. Now to track one down...looks like the few available are in Japan...

Well that makes for a difficult decision. 😉
The blue looks quite nice too from the photos I can find. What a pleasant dilemma to face!

This is what alerted me to the fact I had to buy one, was originally going to get this but I was to late as this sold in about 3 mins.

Found a reasonably priced blue dial in Japan. I'll share pictures when it arrives. Thanks for making me aware of the reference!

Just arrived - really love it. It's hard to photograph (at least for me) how nice the blue dial is. Thanks again!
