Congratulations and wear it in good health. I hope you can wear it more often than I do... It's a pity to just keep it in the watch case. Sorry I was really late last night

Beautiful and timeless..

And I've confirmed that you really don't need a manual to turn 16610 bezel. :s22:

Anyone has any opinions on the Hamilton Khaki King Automatic? Thinking of getting one for SGD520. Any thoughts/suggestions?

A good field watch. Made popular in the movie, Intersellar.

You be happy with it. Watch fans would know its history. And talk about the movie.

If you are eyeing one, highly encourage u to get one. Rolex daytona cronograph movements comes from the Zenith el primero. Which says a lot about the quality of that movement. And Jean Biver has set his sights on turning around Zenith.

He has got a historian to trace the history of Zenith so that he can properly market this under-appreciated brand. Following which, he will then raise prices on Zenith.

If u cannot afford a rolex daytona, a zenith el-primero is a really good buy....If i remember correctly, the omega speedmaster movement is a modified ETA, but the el-primero movement is all original from its own design.

Zenith is really under valued now. The watches are good but not deemed as a main stream luxury brand.

Get it while price still sane :)

Ya that's the classic tri color one

Also liked that design but choose this for blue dia and complications

The thing about Zenith is not just the movement, the design is beautiful, all in the design elements work together.

And the best part, a good value price and the el-primero comes in 2 sizes - 38mm and 42mm. If u buy other chronographs, tough luck. Usually only 1 size and if your wrist is small, liao lor. Look too big....
