My first Zenith landed this morning:

It's been on my radar for over a year now. I narrowed it down to this along with the bronze iteration, which were both released in 2018. Last summer, I almost pulled the trigger on the bronze piece pictured below:

However, I was apprehensive with respect to how the bronze case would age. IMHO, Zenith did an amazing job with both of these. I think these are much better than the revival CP-2, which was released in 2016. They also incorporate a new movement, the El Primero Cal. 405B, with Flyback function. I finally decided on the aged SS piece last week during my trip to Miami:

I had them swap out the default olive colored strap for the brown strap:

Quite pleased that I finally pulled the trigger on this combo:

Have a great weekend!

Regards,

Mark

Congrats for the arrival.

I had in the past the CP-2, and I liked, but feels I wanted something different and a CP-2 PuristPro appeared and I took it.

The aged steel is the most interesting version, IMHO too. I like bronze version, dial is really amazing, but aged steel will remain in the same condition in the future, unlike the bronze. And it looks amazing on your wrist.
