I love how they make the their movements the star of the show... and this time without any starts on the dial. Great job Zenith. I hope I own one someday. Thanks Evan!

The ceramic version is also amazing. Zenith hit a home run with this one.

Brilliant review…chuckling to the end

What a great package. It's a feast for the senses without feeling too over the top.

My favorite watch channel. Obviously very knowledgeable, but not pretentious. Mixes in the perfect amount of humor, and doesnt take himself or the watches too seriously

Your beats are dope. Also, I'm still waiting for that random somebody to ask about my watch 🤓I always wondered why I gravitated towards no date watches 🤣I agree the light blue escape wheel and balance fork is an exquisite touch. You hard work and effort really shows into how phenomenal your videos always come out to be! They always make my day 😁🥳

I’m loling at your dry humor. “Normie”, “waiting to think I’m cool” haha. Subscribed

I've missed your videos! Been a subscriber for ages but stoopid KZread algo hasn't shown me any of your new content... Which is good and bad I guess as now you have made me want a Zenith! 😎🤪

The temptation to keep swapping between the strap and bracelet is almost overwhelming and it highlights what an excellent job Zenith has done with the strap mechanism. Yes, it does rather limit your strap options to Zenith's own ridiculously expensive rubber bands, but as the supplied rubber strap and the bracelet are both exceptional, it's not a huge downer. Exceptionally entertaining as always Evan 🙌

The legibility is what sells this the most (to me). They nailed it.

Hope we see a video from the ceramic Skeleton here soon! Love it.

Love it! Great video

Great review and now I’m interested in this watch

Soul-looker! 😊 By the way, nice touch contrasting dark blue with bright green. I've always enjoyed your taste in colour. Colour is its own reward.

Very nice watch indeed. You should also try to do a review of the Oris Big Crown ProPilot X, in the skeleton watch department it is also quite something 😉

This watch is beautiful

Does this watch have any type of bracelet adjustments or half links?

I own this watch. Great everyday all arounder. I was concerned about the extreme taper to the bracelets but they are ridiculously comfortable. And I find this one more legible than the non skeleton versions. Also the 6 o’clock seconds hand is way better balanced to my eye than the standard models 9. So basically, everything stated in the video!

I’m confused about your comment on the movement. In most other reviews it says it’s the 3620 SK movement? Could you please clarify?

Do the ceramic next!

The legibility alone is reason enough to love this piece. A quick time check on most Skeletor watches are a Beast….Man. Ok that was a reach, but still.

Never liked skeleton watches in general but for some reason this strikes a balance and is very appealing

Usually not keen on skeletonized dials but as you say the legibility makes this far more desirable. $11k is painful though 😢

i wish the all black version was in skeleton

Skeleton and open heart dials aren’t something I typically find appealing. This is an exception.

This watch would be better if the seconds dial measured the standard 60 seconds. I get that the 10s dial is supposed to make a statement, but the skeleton's design already makes a very bold statement, and a 60s dial would have made this watch a lot more practical.

Yeah, why is it that nobody asks about my watches? It makes me want to break out my three-pronged pitchfork.

I really hate the crazy small seconds hand

Unfortunately my wrist is only 1/533 length of a football field, so I'll have to pass. Nice looking watch though!

Get Thee Behind Me, Normie. I is no.

Zenith is a great brand, that's for sure. But the skeletal dial just screams cheap for some reason. Also, lack of lume? Zenith should do better.

As you as you put it on the wrist (the bracelet version) it feels cheap and too light for a 10k watch

Can anyone explain to me why Zenith use Spanish words to name their watches? Does it have any ties to Mexico or something? I tried to look it up, but can't find anything about that.

Mexico isn’t the only country that speaks Spanish…. Spanish comes from Latin (Iberian Peninsula) to be extract. Your level of ignorance is astounding my friend. Salud 🥂!

I think it looks great on your wrist. Real shame about the lume though. You'd think for $11k, they would have given you grade A lume. Why must every brand short change their customers on piddly shit?

It's the same with "sports" watches three times this price from AP, Patek, VC. It's frustrating.

My wrist is 1/565th of an American football field, so I guess I'm out. Great watch though. If I eat enough to get my wrist to sufficient size to wear this, I will have spent so much on food I will no longer be able to afford it. This watch caper is cruel sometimes.

that second hand is just too gimmicky.

beautiful watch, but the price is so ridiculous, doesn’t make sense.

My continued battle with autocorrect.

It's a really really cool watch BUT too big for my chicken wrists and too expensive for the vast emptiness I call my wallet.

Looks pretty cool but still way below my standards when it comes to readability. Zenith always seems to fall short in this regard. Putting silver hands on a silver-dialed watch, or in the example you showed white hands with a white watch. It's such a shame because there are a lot of Zenith watches I really like the look of but simply wouldn't buy due to the poor hand/dial contrast.

Would be great if they did a 38mm for all of us that have a wrist size between 1/188 and 1/161 of a basketball court…maths is hard!

That fast small seconds is making the whole watch very uneasy
