Zenith El Primero Sport for me. I won't spend that kind of money on a watch without a date wheel.

I like them all. Each one is different enough (in colors, visual design, and internal movement), that there's not really any duplication, imho. So, each piece can co-exist equally in your collection. Congrats, they're all beautiful, sporty watches!

Wow based on these photos that El Primero Chronosport is much larger than the Daytona. I knew it was thicker and I know the Daytona is really a 38-39mm watch. But man these photos make it look big.

OP, Can you take some wrist shots?

It is the angle/perspective of the photo. Daytona is straight on and Zenith is left and at an angle. Zenith is bigger, but these pictures distort the dimensions — just like when people were comparing the Sub 41 and Sub 40 and holding the Sub 41 much closer to the camera.

it is the thickness. the lug width and lug to lug is the same basically (47 v 46.5). the thickness the chronomaster is 13.6 vs 12.5

Zenith looks pretty good but seems a bit too big for wrist smaller than 6.5".

Congrats!

I think this model will be a hit for Zenith.

Those new Zeniths are drop dead gorgeous. It addresses the one thing the Daytona is missing which is a date function.

All three are stunners. Interesting that the three span quite the price range, though.

All are lovely. I have a soft spot for Zenith and this is a stunning addition to their range, so it's my choice

Zenith. It's the El Primero I've been waiting for.

Congratulations.

The Zaytona does look much larger than its Crown relative, despite the claimed 1 mm case size difference. I really do love the El Primero, and it's certainly a better value at this current juncture.

Looks larger than the Omega or El Daymero?

Well he said the crown so he must be referring to the Speedy.

I've always had a soft spot for chronographs, here's my current pair. The Zenith is a beautiful piece too.

To answer your question though OP, I prefer the Zenith. Throw in a 321 and I’d go that route
