Zenith Chronomaster Arrived!

Ordered from the online boutique just this past weekend! Proportions are perfect and legibility is incredible for a chrono.

It's a really tough decision as I love both of them. For me it was 51/49 in favor of black. It came down to the sub-dials. For me, I think the black makes them pop a bit more. You can't go wrong. Good luck. Super comfortable, and like all great watches, pictures do NO justice.

I love the looks of this watch and am "this" close to ordering one. I just can't decide which color to go for. I lean white but a few folks like yourself keep me undecided. I wish I could see either in person before ordering, but I don't have a Zenith AD anywhere near me.

I hadn't seen it in the flesh either, but what gave me comfort was they have a 2-week no questions asked return policy. In the order, they provide everything you'd need to return it hassle free, including label and the box itself.

It was very close for me in color. To me, the white's a bit sportier. With my life patterns, the black gives a bit more wearability (IMO) for more formal occasions. Also, after countless videos and pictures, I decided the black was also slightly more legible.

In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if I pick up the white one down the road. I've been on the daytona list forever, but after receiving this, my desire for the daytona has all but dried up.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. That is very helpful. Congrats again - it's a stunner!

Does the online boutique include a card for a first service on zenith? When I bought my el primero at the boutique in Paris they claimed it was a perk of buying direct from zenith.

I will have to look through the materials again, but I don't believe it did. When I registered the watch after receipt, I believe it stated that the first service on Zenith is now registered and in the system for future use.

Outstanding, big congrats!

I was really torn as well on which one I liked better, but I've decided black would be the one for me if I pull the trigger, as I prefer the black's lacquer dial versus the white's matte dial.
