SHARP eyes!!! Indeed, its 'only' 42mm, the new standard size ...
for the El Primero. Sorry, I mixed up one row in the press material. So, tough luck for your choice ;-)...
As for the strap, well I have to assume it was dark blue. However, please keep in mind that in Basel there is (i) very bad light at the booths, (ii) we see typically hundreds of watch (do I complain? No, but these are exactly the situations where such tiny details get lost...) and (iii) brands often have so called 'proto straps' which are not the final version. Particularly, we have seen quite a few blue straps at several brands which will change colour/quality before they reach the customers.
Sorry for not being able to offer better description.
Thanks,

BaselWorld 2015: Zenith El Primero 410 Tribute to Charles Vermot Limited Edition
Very now and then a watch brand creates a watch which is obviously geared towards its connoisseurs. The new Zenith El Primero 410 Tribute to Charles Vermot Limited Edition is one such case: Let's start with the technical basics: offered in a (now Zenith's...
Thank you Mr Vermot for not destroying ...
All the tools! :) And thank you, Magnus for another great report! Must say the dial is just captivating! Love blue dials! :) Less happy about the size - 45 mm for this kind of watch is on the upper limit for me. But, in your wrist shots the watch doesn't ...
There are benefits of the size...
e.g. the perfectly usable and visible subdials PLUS the complete calendar. But you are right, 42mm would probably make it perfect. Thanks, Magnus
Is it 45mm or 42mm?
Since you handled it I have to think you are correct about the 45mm size. However, the Zenith site shows it to be 42mm just like the other two current 410 variations. I have the steel/silver dial version on my short list but I started thinking about the b...

I chose silver based on finding a great deal.
However, blue may still have a place in my future. Actually, I'm really happy to get the silver since it had been on my wish list since it came out in this 410 variation. ...
A huge congrats from my side...
this is a classic piece that - not too long ago - was the top complication you could get from Zenith. Cheers and share more images, Magnus
I just returned from a stroll through the old town ...
... where I saw this exact watch in the window of our local Zenith dealer. I thought by myself: "Ay, what a nice watch!". At first, I assumed it to be an earlier Charly Vermot edition, due to the blue dial, until I saw the windows of the full calendar ind...
