Zenith

The watch itself is imposing in size. It says 44.5mm, but with the thickness and heft, it certainly felt and looked larger than that. The build quality impressed me, and just holding it gave me the impression that it was very well made. I did like the dial and design, but unfortunately, it went beyond the maximum permitted size for my smallish wrist, and when I tried it on, my fears were confirmed. There was no way that this would fit me....to an extent, it reminded me of what my 9 year old son's wrist looked like when he tried wearing my watches.

Photos not all great due to the lighting and made worse with the plastic wrap, but it was the best I could do in the short span of time and not making them work to remove all that packing just for a few photos.

The deployant seemed a little strange though. Instead of the regular buttons, the grip pieces needed to be pushed back to release, which was not the most natural thing to be doing, not to mention pretty difficult to do. It also didn't seem to want to lock well, especially when the strap is adjusted to a short length and it kept springing loose for one reason or another. Not too sure why, but the touch of DLC coating on the deployant made it look good. As to whether the coating would come loose over time is another discussion altogether.

 

What are your thoughts?
