Has to be the original with perfect proportions of 38mm. I am a big fan and love mine.

Is that model known as the El Primero? Very attractive and I like the 38mm size.

Yes the el primero original - many versions of it exist, mine is discontinued. The latest model has a vintage look to it and I prefer the modern take.

I'd definitely recommend the Zenith Chronomaster Sport! It's a fantastic choice with its sleek design and excellent performance. Plus, it offers great value in the 4-figure range. If you're open to 5 figures, the El Primero range has some incredible options with even more advanced features and a timeless look. Either way, you can't go wrong with Zenith!

Classic case
True zenith design
Limited run
Huge history about this specific dial

I would go with the manufacture

Love everything about that watch .... except the crooked date wheel. Seems so awkward, and Zenith ain't the only one with that design, of course.
