I just saw the most unbelievably gorgeous watch in a WatchTime post...

Here is the headline and some photos...

Sadly, I will never own this watch...will just have to dream about it.

All of you salmon dial collectors...here is one for your dream wall!

Yeah I saw this today too and may also dream about it. They’ll never make this for the masses but

It is really a lovely watch.

·

O that dial😍 I'l be window shopping this as well.

·

Beautiful! Love that guilloche on the outer dial. Salmon and pistachio are some of the best dial colours out right now. Is it a fad? Maybe. But I might turn to something like a Sugess to enjoy one. 

·

Wowwwww, It's like a salmon colored aqua terra with guilloche by Zenith.

Drools

Excuse me, I need to mop the floor. Also change my shirt from all this drooling.

🤤🤤🤤

It's funny how what was once fashionable becomes fashionable again.

During the 1940s salmon and copper dials were very fashionable (Patek, Vacheron, Minerva, etc).

 My guess is that with the retro focus on designs these days it has revised the interest in salmon dials.

Here's a beauty from 1947 in my collection - hoping Montblanc/Minerva will reissue one again like this with high complication chronograph movement in a modern size:

Kari is simply amazing. This Zenith piece is amazing and not just because of what it represents but also the collaboration between Zenith and Kari.

This to me is the definition of a grail watch.  Not a mass made Rolex 😀

·

I love it!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

·

Wow! I didn't know that Zenith makes this kind of watch. Just a quick question: what do those coordinates (?) in the small second subdial mean?

Looks like it's the serial number - check out the movement on the back - the same number is below the Zenith name.

A few Salmons from Ali that are affordable. In particular, Merkur likes the color.  The non-branded dial is a SanMartin quartz (also available branded, with small or large seconds).

Oh that's a good list - thanks for sharing it. Off to Ali to explore...

This will turn heads

As a Zenith aficionado, I am so happy that they launched this masterpiec. That open case back displaying the 135 caliber is to die for.
