Looks great Matt. Why can't zenith just make a chronograph with normal sub dials, at twenty times the cost?

Good value. Interesting strap change concept.

This one looks great

End of this year they will be coming out with another compressor style in 41mm with a sapphire and better movement.

You will like it Matt, I have the dual crown compressor diver and it's well done for the money. Wish it was 42mm but it's a small 44mm

The watch arrived yesterday, love the design and size.

I already envision a number of strap options that will work well with the watch; possibly gaining even Chris's approval.

Some negatives:

The lume is horrible.

Bi-directional bezel clicks are every hour (or every 5 minutes), depending on your point of view. I'm okay with this because I will use the bezel for a second time zone.

Bezel knocks out of position "easily".

Although the look is clean, the sub-divisions on the running second dial and the chrono minutes are every 2 1/2 seconds or minutes. You really can not read elapsed time from the chrono accurately passed 60 seconds.

All things considered, the watch only cost $230 and I consider this a good purchase.

ps Case back design might be an issue for some, I don't find it uncomfortable.
