New ZENITH Defy Classic Aero Chrono

[ducatidoc]

Boy, I thought Daytonas were impressive !
Just got this in today. My newest bundle of joy. After setting and sizing, we go right to pictures, naturally.

First off, though, a well-earned shout-out to Todd at AuthenticWatches.com for answering all my questions and first-class service.

Here are the spec's:

View on my chicken wrist really doesn't do it justice:


The case is quite thick and fairly heavy:


Hidden clasp and sapphire caseback:


Another front view. I tried to get the polished Rose Gold arabic numerals and hands to show up better:


I'm going to try later to get shots with better lighting. The advertisement photos at all the sites I checked are horrible, these aren't much better, you really need to see it in person.

Naturally, with the El Primero movement, it should be an excellent timekeeper as well.
