Great watch.
The Defy Classic in Blue is a “bit” more legible as the hands are silver but that’s still a very handsome watch. Is it very light to wear?
Another 38mm model…
A beauty!Another 38mm model…
Yes very light. Only downside is the design of the clasp is not conducive to comfort as the underside digs into the wrist a bit, not unbearably so but still very noticeable.

Have a deposit down on this… should be collecting at the end of the week😎👍
Bought on the bracelet which I think is retro cool..
But also got the strap thrown in to dress it up a bit
Thank you, I’d heard that about the clasp before. I’d certainly like to try one of the ceramic models on.
Very nice! A bit cheaper that the PP copy - sorry, version, I'll bet. I like that Zenith.

Legibility on the blue skeleton one is fine imo. The hands are silver and the layers of depth make it easy to read.
Very different to the others on this thread, but this is my only Zenith.
I would love an EP 1969 Open, but they are too expensive for me these days.
Maybe if I come into some money sometime...

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
New strap finally arrived for the Zenith…👍
Here's mine, an Elite Captain Central Seconds
I love it but sadly it hasn't ever been right from day 1 because even if I wear it all day, it will stop over night.
It was sent back under warranty, initially within the UK and then ultimately back to Switzerland but even after all that it still does it. None of my other watches suffer with this, suggesting it's nothing to do with my (lack) of movement. So it rarely gets worn these days, but it was a wedding gift from my wife so I am loathe to get rid.
I've had a few nice ones (excuse the patchy photography, some were quite some time ago before I got a bit better).

The 2x 5100s (Omega 1045) and throw in a classic Zenith CP-2 for my choice.
A 'grail' or three - for me anyway! [Lovely DeLuca btw, anyone with an A277?]
Here's my 670 Elite Rainbow diver watch, 39mm case. 200m rated water depth and yet just 9mm thick. Lovely rich yellow dial, not orange, more mango or custard yellow.

That looks really good (the Mango).
Like the simple style and hands choice.
Are there any simple black dial Zenith hand winds?
Meanwhile.
Just out of curiosity, I had a look the other day to see what a genuine issued Cairelli CP2 goes for.
The answer is about £8-9k. From a dealer. Which is a lot. But by relation to what other issued pieces can cost, It seemed not too steep to me.
An Issued CP2 remains a real grail for me.
Thats the lower end I think as I have seen them from between £12,000 to £22,000.
I can see why you like it.
like the fact that the re issue though automatic is easy to wind having no locking crown.
This is a good article.

My Rainbow El Primero Flyback flanked by a selection of other chronos (all now gone except for the Zenith):
There is a decent looking one at the Brandizzi dealers (in Rome, very reputable, I've been to see them) for €9k, perhaps the market is softening
I thought it would be hard to find it but it wasn't,I translated to English on the website easy as well.
Its an absolute beauty buying it in Rome would make it that bit more special,I would love to see one in real life.
You should buy it.

Not sure if you have seen MWR but there is a very similar issued Breitling 817 for sale at the moment for a ‘reasonable’ €9.5k..

Some of the other Zeniths in the Rome shop are desirable as well.
I tried mine on a different strap last night.

I like that a lot even though I wouldnt be able to read the dial myself.
Is there a black dial version?
It is also totally under the radar. I haven’t really worn anything else since I bought it (other than the odd g shock)…

There is the shadow version which is very cool.

Amazing piece, but I would say the design is quite distinctive and less under the radar, maybe for those that know...
I’m probably going mad but I’m sure I saw a new Zenith Defy skyline 41mm with a gorgeous light blue dial but for some reason I can’t find it online/anywhere so did I imagine it?!
Thanks
Online only Boutique edition “Ice blue”, versions in both 41mm and 36mm.
I had an email from Zenith about it on Friday.

Found it,yours looks better.

Gotcha, thank you
Quite taken by this, and it comes with the ice blue rubber strap too. Think I’m right in saying that the Zenith brand tank in value (never owned one) so if you love it you just go for it irrespective?

Decided to put it back on the bracelet… must correct the date..
