And now there's another to add to the knowledge base:
the Pilot Cronometro TIPO CP-2 USA Edition reference 03.2241.405/51.C915
https://www.ablogtowatch.com/zenith-...-watch-review/
I’ve had three CP2s; possibly my all-time favourite Chrono. But then I like Zenith in general.
Why did I sell? Don’t ask me, I just do these things.

And don't forget the people at Bamford Watch Dept can make you a CP2 in any colour you choose......
Love Zenith, only have this one now:
Zenith Prime - hand wound version of the El Primero;
Actually, I'm going to wind it up and wear it this afternoon now!
That’s an absolute beauty, being hand wound is it quite slim?
Second that I have my cup-2 on today but that prime looks great

I have 2, both from the 90s:
Elite 670 dress watch
Rainbow El Primero Fly-back
Would like to add more, especially the mango dial Rainbow diver, which is something of a grail.
One of my best vintage ‘beaters’:
Picked up my first Zenith earlier this year.
Really like it.

Zenith Elite Chrono Classic
My one and only...
Of all my watches this plus my grandfather’s Bravingtons are the only two 100% certain keepers.
Every time I look at something else, even for considerably more money, I struggle to see what would get more wrist time.
My rainbow from year 2000:

My Cal 135, legendary watch but sadly gets the least amount of wrist time in my collection!

One of my favourite brands. I sold this one a while back and allways regretted it. Such a great dial.
Here's my 1 1/2 Zeniths. For me they are a brand that get it wrong a lot but when they get it right they REALLY get it right. And of course the movements are just lovely.
37mm Rose gold Elite Hand wind. Worn for weddings but also sometimes just with a short sleeved shirt in the sunshine.
Panerai 74 with El Primero 400z inside. My go to watch. I chose this for the Zenith movement over a 7750 based PAM.

Ah is that the pilot with a silver case? Interesting to k ow how it wears as softer than steel, not many silver cases around.

Only got a couple at the moment including this dressy Open T which I wear in a NSA bracelet
