Wow this is great news for every Zenith aficionado a very nice 50th anniversary set is just announced.
A collectors dream I think. My dream set no doubt.

As we already know this year legendary El Primero high-frequency chronograph celebrates half a century of avant-garde and precision.
Hence Zenith decided to make very nice set to celebrate this anniversary.

All in all superb offer from Zenith.
Just superb.
