a foudroyant small seconds is a quirky complication. arguably the most interesting current example is from Habring2. While not at 5hz, it is paired with a deadbeat seconds hand, which is a very challenging complication in and of itself. There's an interesting contrast between the sweeping deadbeat and foudroyant subdial, it simply doesn't offer much in terms of function, but that's rarely the point of an expensive mechanical watch anyway.
I’ve been waiting on a good review of this watch. It looks good on your wrist. Hoping to check it out sometime soon in person. Thanks! Wishing you a happy New Year.
Very nice review. I have a 16.5cm wrist, and am wondering if this watch wears more like a 38mm on the wrist. I am torn between this and the Pilot 3-hander with the El Primero, which is a 40mm, and, I'm told, wears more like a 41 or 42mm.
Thanks for reviewing, wish you had talked a little more about the movement! Does the movement have Silicon escapement? Any idea of how anti magnetic it is? What is the accuracy of the watch? Thanks!
You are correct in saying that it’s not a homage. The Zenith Defy was 3 years before the Royal Oak.
so funny...nearly every time I get really interested in a watch and go looking for reviews you've got an owners review of it. we think alike.
Beautiful watch and I love that it doesn't have the 1/10th of a second indicator.
Me too actually! And thank you very much!

I think they should make a 38 or 39mm version with the el primero movement and no small seconds dial
Zenith is extremely underrated
Great looking watch Sanjay. Have a great 2024🎆!
Thanks UWC! Here’s to a fantastic 2024! 🥛🙂

I think so too, Thank you, my friend!
Beautiful watch and great job on the video! Happy New Year to you and the family, Sanjay!
Happy New Year to you and your family as well, Chaz! Thanks so much for all your encouragement and support
Really a nice looking piece. Fits you great and looks amazing on wrist.
Thanks so much, Kevin! 🙂
Love the Seiko Burgundy!!
Been wearing it all day! I had missed it! 🙂
Very nice review - I'm looking at the red defy and just haven't decided if I should get it or not...the chase is 3/4's the fun it seems.
excellent timepiece! God bless ya bruv!
God Bless you too, bro! ❤️🙂

That case is gorgeous.
It really is!!
Great vid Sanjay. I have no idea how the heck i hadn't subscribed before. I corrected that immediately 😂👍
You’re too kind. Thank you, my friend!
Hey boss, do you think this watch would look big or small compared to the rolex op 36?
I'd say this wears slightly larger than the op36, mainly because of the shape of the case it looks bigger than a 36
Ahh, can't believe there's no wrist shot with the integral ss bracelet ..
Very nice indeed!
Love that watch but with the sky high beat rate I'd be wary of the service cost...
the 36mm is an Elite movement at 4hz.
Can’t believe you decided to trade /sell this 🤣
Haha I didn’t! Not yet at least
Don't like the dial pattern
Meh get a Maen Manhattan instead, much better value.
I’ll have to look that up! Thanks!
Yeah and everybody who owns a submariner should get a seiko 5, and ap owners should just get a tissot, right?
Looks too generic, your seiko is far more characteristic IMO
