That IS nice. Looks a lot like the newer Heuer Autavia’s.

Oh cool Chris, yeah I can see why you and RJ are liking this one.

It totally has that
new Autavia feel, along with just a vintage personality through and through.

It has
been something to watch Zodiac go back in time in the last several years. Because the
watches are so timeless, and actually always feel as if they came from the future sir.
They are that nice.
Thank you so so much for the report on them !!!

Got the email this morning and was glad to see it was 42mm. Not some tiny thick Chrono. This is super nice

That's a beautiful blue. The dials crafting looks exceptioanal, the depth of the blue notched markers stacked on that white's hot. There's a lot to like.

From the photo's it looks almost like a sandwich dial, with the lume plots below the dial surface. If so, that is kinda cool and unique.

Did they mention thickness? I didn't see it anywhere which made me think it's probably pretty thick.

Only guessing 15.5-16.5 as I assume it’ll use a basic Chrono mvt and most are thick.

Sellita SW510b which is only 0.95mm thicker than the movement in the original so like Fratello notes, not sure why the case had to be 4mm thicker.

I think this will be a big seller. Love that its 42mm, love the dial layout and I love the large crown.

It’s the perfect size for me. I’m glad not everyone is caving to the Dink crowd when it comes to sizing.

Looks fantastic. If I can wear a 103 for thickness, this one seem like it should work fine.

These look great, I think I actually prefer the blue/black combo.

I like both. A lot. But wouldn’t pay retail.
