New Zenith Pandas for 2017

Post by logan2z » Sun Jan 15, 2017 10:53 pm

Looks like AP isn't the only one going panda in 2017. Zenith has announced a couple of panda dialed 36000 vph El Primero pandas in 42 x 12.75mm ceramicised aluminum cases with perforated black rubber straps. MSRP is $8600.

Zenith is clearly jealous of Omega's success with the Snoopy edition Speedmaster.

These overlapping subdials are getting really old.

Mm. I like the color scheme, but I don't care for ceramic or aluminum standalone, so the combo is most definitely not better.

They are still obscuring the minute track of the chrono function.
only accurate watches are interesting

You beat me to it, how much do you have to pay to not have the subdials eating each other? Sometimes you have to wonder about the designers of some of these dials.

Reportedly the 400-series El Primero movement was designed in the late 60s when cases were much smaller. Hence the tight sub-dial placements.
