    Meh.::screwloose::

    Doesn't do anything for me. If they had a 38mm version with better execution of the subregister overlap....

    No, still meh. ;)

    I tend to agree. I love a Panda dial but it doesn't work well here.

    The white dialed version would have been improved by different shades/colours of black and grey sub-registers.

    The black dialed one looks a bit better but for me, now, every dial like this is a poor man's #ST LE.

    Oh, I am not a fan of black cased watches either.

    I like them, but not a fan of the black case. The white looks best IMO. Compared to the standard tri-color classic I don't think this is better. But it may appeal to those that like a more monochrome palette.

    I will renew my plea for a new XL Primero movement, to cure subdial strabismus and overlap on modern-size chronos.

    100% agree - the overlapping here becomes a liability and ends up looking ridiculous... how do these things get past the design stage? And how do the designers get paid? Ridiculous....

    Bring back the 38mm cases, is what I'd say! Too much space.

    I love Zenith but not these ones, I agree with most of the previous posts.
    I do prefer the 38mm cases and please in steel.

    It's 50-years tradition of this model.
    But one interpretation called "Classic Cars" is not overlapping.

    Right - don't get me wrong, I love it in the tri-color models ... that's a classic - but to adapt that to one color makes no sense to me....

    Those overlapping subdials are distracting.
