Zenith Stratos Striking Tenth Landed
Zenith Stratos Striking Tenth Landed
Just got back to IL and this was waiting. Short impressions:
Bracelet must be the nicest made that I own. The clasp etc are superb. I read that they actually manufacture the bracelets as well. The tolerances between the links are pretty incredible when you look closely.
The wooden box closes like a vault. The top locks into place and I had to put real pressure to open it.
The watch is mesmerizing in person and frankly not as big on wrist as I thought it would be.
The ceramic bezel looks fantastic in person.
The taper on each link is done very very well. Makes this a comfy wear.
The flyback striking tenth movement is perhaps the coolest complication I've owned in Any watch. Very fun.
Only thing that's odd is to set time you pull out one click and date two clicks which is reverse of every other watch I've had. Also it doesn't hack the seconds hand.
Reminds me of my grand seiko in how the bezel looks black or steel based on how light hits it. Also there's a ton going on when the light hits the hour markers etc. Really beautiful.
This thing is just beautiful IMO. Crappy pics for now.

Yea bezel has very firm sure clicks. Almost reminds me of the feel of my BPFFB bezel but slightly less force needed to turn.mikeylacroix wrote:Nicely done.

I was always in the minority but I've always liked this since it was first released years back. A great bold sport Chrono. And at what they go for now they are an amazing value - if you have the wrist for it.
Congrats Eric - enjoy dude!
