Zenith Pilot Montre D'Aeronef Type 20 Tourbillion
No other info yet.

No info as to the naming of this model.
Looks to be a Chronomaster Open in a more sportier guise with the red accents on the carbon fibre pattern dial and rubber strap.
No other info yet.

Zenith Stratos Flyback Rainbow?
I think it's safe to say that the Rainbow Flyback is finally back!
The overlapping subdials that annoyed countless people have been rectified.
It now sports a smaller hour totalizer subdial.
Looks like the case will be in Black Alchron? Or DLC stainless steel? Your guess is as good as mine.
Case size should remain at 45.5mm.... although I am silently hoping it would be 42mm...
No other info yet.

Watch on the left is the Zenith Doublematic.
Again in a more sportier design with the colour accents.
Internals and functions should remain the same as the Doublematic that was released last year.

Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar.
Design update on the highly successful and value for money watch with an Annual Calendar complication.
Suspect that this watch will be a boutique only piece... but I could be wrong.

Also an update on the ultra complex Cristoph Colomb watch.
Now utilising a chain and fusee system.
A very beautiful watch with a mesmerising complication.

All in all, the preview is an exciting one, more so on a piece like the "Baby" Pilot Montre D'Aeronef at 40mm... wearability will be excellent.
Let's be honest, the original Pilot Montre D'Aeronef is a behemoth of a watch.
Not so sure about the 48mm ones though.

Really happy about the revival of the Rainbow colourway but still waiting and hoping that Zenith will make a 42mm one.
