What an inspired lineup. I did not expect to wake up this morning and be floored by Zenith.

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

Zenith is a gem. I'm not sure how an LVMH primary brand flies so far below the radar. Best, Tim

Sounds like low blood pressure, are you pregnant?

@randys766 Месяц назад

@@jamesblonde2271and this evening I have a baby… three hours keep coming. Thanks for the heads up.

@jimmuisenga5025 Месяц назад

The extreme diver is one of the standouts this year imo.

@wisamal-hakim5531 Месяц назад

A stellar line up. That dive watch is refreshing. So many hard angles and lines, so different from other more traditional divers. I love its aesthetic as well as its capability. Wonderfully presented by guru Mosso as usual thank you

@David-io8xi Месяц назад

Love all those , Zenith has nailed it.

@bobbydazzler1780 Месяц назад

Some nice pieces from Zenith there. Excellent presentation.

@samstraughan9054 Месяц назад

That extreme diver is special...putting it on the list

@localheroEd Месяц назад

Agreed. Lovely touch with the lume.

@mikesmith6543 Месяц назад

I agree. It's a sweet watch!

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

Highly recommended. I've met a lot of good folks from Zenith, and it seems the company is run and staffed by real watch enthusiasts. Best, Tim

@NoahBB Месяц назад

100%, immediately put that on my list. Best release of watches and wonders in the 5-15k range.

@Kbo513 Месяц назад

Which color are you thinking? I’m leaning to blue, but the black is really nice too

@lonewolfemcquade8133 Месяц назад

I been saying it for awhile now that Zenith needed a diver in the line-up. I still hope they bring back the Zenith Super sub sea diver chronograph. The vintage one is stunning

@brandheadlights Месяц назад

Wow! This video may have just sold at least 10 new zenith watches. Your coverage, explanation and attention to detail are something extraordinary. Keep up the good work! Zenith might need you to cover their watches as a brand ambassador.

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

I'd love to work with Zenith! I always regarded it among my very favorites. Best, Tim

@PocketWatchTime Месяц назад

That ceramic tourbillon is fantastic. Extreme diver is pretty fancy too… love that it comes with 3 straps.

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

Agreed. No reason to debase yourself waiting years, begging, or paying over list for a ceramic AP when this exists with a full bracelet. AP even allows its factory boutiques to charge over retail these days, so who knows what you'd be paying even if you were on the short list for a ceramic RO. Best, Tim

@michael_deprospo Месяц назад

The Diver looks awesome.

@Salikaan Месяц назад

I really love that Diver, price maybe not so much but that's a damn nice release.

@Nefville Месяц назад

Great coverage Tim & Co.. I hope you do all the brands like this, I unfortunately don't have time for the Monday livestreams any more.

@fergieb7564 Месяц назад

First Zenith diver since the days of the Rainbow Elite, which were great watches. I have a 37mm De Luca dive watch with a black lacquer dial and really love it.

@lonewolfemcquade8133 Месяц назад

I used to own the Zenith Rainbow diver. What a gem of a watch that was under appreciated. I wish I still had it I would love if Zenith brought back the Zenith Super sub sea diver chronograph

@fergieb7564 Месяц назад

@@lonewolfemcquade8133 A great suggestion and maybe Zenith will hear you on that. The Rainbow Elite black dial was really lovely along with of course the mango!

@jimmillett9224 Месяц назад

Love the Defy Extreme Diver. This and the green dial dial VC Overseas were my favourite releases this year.

@stickshifter8 Месяц назад

$11k for that Diver is such a good value, within a generally great lineup by Zenith.

@davidbcg286 Месяц назад

I’m a Zenith fanboy without a Zenith. Stellar design, they made the right choice by bringing back the dive line. Hope they now bring back the day date “defy”

@bjarkelykkemadsen2874 Месяц назад

Zenith is also becoming my favorite watch brand. No other brand have so many models and variants that I personally like. And your videos Tim, are the best. I highly apprecitate this and similar content :)

@NoahBB Месяц назад

Can't get enough of the Defy Extreme Diver with the blue dial. After seeing macro shots of the dial I was smitten.

@matt554 Месяц назад

Zenith is on a roll

@ProfessorPesca Месяц назад

There is a LOT going on with the design of the extreme diver. I don’t know if I love it or hate it but it definitely deserves a really good ‘in-depth’ look on release. One aspect I think is an absolute success is that enormous minute hand lume block, it’s just so confident. Compare with the Bremont and Montblanc divers recently release that are about the most apologetic and generic dive designs I’ve seen.

@adamcrossfire4747 Месяц назад

These looked rubbish on the press release photos but videos of themreally highlight their atributes….really cool watches

@ustac1247 Месяц назад

It would be nice if Tim would tell us his personal favorite new Zenith watch from each category (diver, chronograph, etc.), and why.

@Roy-vh9rp Месяц назад

Zenith had the best releases of Watches and Wonders 2024

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

Definitely the most consistently cool. There's something to love in each of these new watches. Best, Tim

They will not sell

@xc8i7ma3k28 Месяц назад

Hi Tim!!! ❤

@jamessinatro4807 Месяц назад

I like the defy diver and its vintage connection to the older model. It reminds me of the Jaeger Polaris II.

@waterfordrs22 Месяц назад

That new chronograph is going to be a well deserved hit. They know their way around that complication. The Extreme diver, technical divers aren’t my jam, but they brought out an interesting watch. It’s got it’s own thing going and the finishing is quite interesting. Lots of little details. The Revivals, truth be told, they tend to be my favorites and the Defy Revival shown here is quite fine. It doesn’t fit my style, but it’s a great watch. The first time I saw a Defy Revival, I don’t know how to look at it. Still avant-garde. One of my own best watches is an A385 Revival - keep the Revivals coming Zenith. My only let down- I read an interview from Zenith’s CEO, while I’m not sure if he’s still there, he talked about an update of the Elite line. That would be very welcome.

@EdwardViaTomato Месяц назад

they look really great. Bet they look even better in person. I don't think I've seen one yet. I like the three hand Pilot a lot, too.

@george5737 Месяц назад

I am extremely glad that Zenith is trying to give us new watches instead of changing a color on an existing watch and calling it a day.

@robpelletier2103 Месяц назад

The Defy Revival Orange Diver is very cool.

@AliAbbasi87 Месяц назад

is it day-fi or defy?

@KeepingWatchUK Месяц назад

I’d say the latter. But only a brave man questions Mr Mosso! 😉

@tbaker2610 Месяц назад

I love that defy chronograph! Appreciate the review! Quick question Tim. You have mentioned in the past that column wheel vertical clutch chronographs can have the chronograph function frequently running for long periods of time without wearing out the parts. This is a lateral clutch. Can you run the chrono regularly (if you wanted to) without significant wear? If I misunderstood what you have shared in the past, please let me know! Thank you!

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

When I shot videos for Zenith at the corporate level a few years ago, its instructions were to avoid running the chronograph continuously. Since Zenith only uses lateral clutches, my rule of thumb is that you only run the watch for as many hours as the largest chrono counter - 12 hours in this case. Run it regularly for sure. Just don't leave it wandering indefinitely if not strictly necessary. Best, Tim

@tbaker2610 Месяц назад

Brilliant! Thank you Tim for being the ultimate subject matter expert! Stay well!

@minusED Месяц назад

Chronograph is beautiful, but divers are more nod to the past than anything. Thierry Nataff’s era cases with their rotating bezels look way better. The dials where not for all (especially on some Xtreme models:)) but otherwise these watches looked way better than most current Zeniths. Hell, it’s shape is better than Rolex and Omega and most other “classics”. It’s both masculine and elegant, tool-like and yet looking more expensive than a cutout from slub of steel (I’m looking at you Rolex). And no old-school vintage looks that seem to be coming from actual past in a time-machine. Sadly most people never scrutinized those Defy Classics and Def Xtremes in person.

@FuquaRomeo Месяц назад

Is everyone taking a drink every time he say Day-fye?

@MrBacchus18 Месяц назад

Dope

@moneymikz Месяц назад

Seems reports of the demise of the integrated bracelet were greatly exaggerated, fine by me though it’s a great look

@jamesblonde2271 Месяц назад

That Zenith is pretty.

@CalebTBrown Месяц назад

I think you missed a button on your shirt. But the white is nice! Still looking good Tim!

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

Possibly. I can be absent minded. Best, Tim

@localheroEd Месяц назад

First. New diver looks great, did I hear 37mm?

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

For the A3648 revival, 100% - 37mm Best, Tim

@localheroEd Месяц назад

Interesting. I tried the smaller Bathyscaph and thought it was too small but will give this a go. Cheers

@shakhbozyusupov6331 Месяц назад

I thought Tim would review IWC first but honestly my opinion Zenith is becoming more and more wack. IWC did incredible job with Portuguieser

@dannysimenauer5745 Месяц назад

The Zenith diver at 2:42 seems to borrow design cues from Breitling with its orange color and rectangle on the seconds hand. The crown and date at 4 o'clock seems to borrow design cues from Seiko. Is this an homage watch?

@the1916companywatchreviews Месяц назад

It's literally a reproduction of the vintage watch we showed in the video - Zenith's own A3648 from 1969. What influenced those designers ages ago, only Zenith (or possibly nobody) knows. Best, Tim
