I had this Zenith 410 on my grail list since it was introduced and finally made the plunge when the right opportunity presented itself.  I was tempted by the limited edition blue dial version but I'm happy I stuck with silver due to the way the silver sunburst finish plays with light and colors in its immediate surroundings.

I am really enjoying my 410. It is great to look at and also very accurate. So far it is keeping time to within 2 seconds per week.

clearly, Zenith has a thoroughbred high-performance engine under the hood, and in addition does serious work regulating it. This is what a true manufacture makes. Cheers and enjoy the watch, Magnus
