Today, we'll be talking about the Zenith class moonphase. Well, actually class elite, moonphase, grande date in rose gold. This one comes on a black alligator leather strap. Reference number 1,8 1,1,2,5 6,9,1 0,2 C,4 9,0. Now those are all sort of delineated or otherwise marked with dots or hyphens. It's not really all that consistent with how it's written out with it's a model number, but that's the general gist of it. It's a Zenith class elite, moonphase grande date in rose gold. That's essentially what this is. As you can see on the front of the dial, we have the class elite automatic, right there on that nice silver dial. We'll be going over the case, dial, the crown functions as well as the movement and the strap. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on all of these throughout the video. Right, so zooming out a bit. We have a 40 millimeter case. That's the finger to thumb distance there. The diameter from the eight to two, two to eight or the 10 to four diameter, same thing, 40 millimeters. Allright, nice and thin profile. Under 12, it's actually below 10 millimeters in thickness. Will slide very nicely under a suit cuff. And also we have a full high polish presentation here all in, entirely in rose gold. As you can see, it's all fully high polish, no set and brush finishing anywhere. Only just very light bevels here, there, just to sort of delineate the lines of this watch. As you can see, as I trace around the bezel here. There's some clear lines to sort of show the modularity of this watch. Now, this bezel here is smooth. It's toned and well, there's not really much to say about it. Other than that, it really completes the watch. It gives it a sense of depth and just a little bit of extra space between the index markers on the dial and the edge of the watch. And you can certainly know that you're dealing with rose gold in this case, looking directly at it. Okay, now we also have an exhibition case back so you can see the movement all the way through. More on that in a moment. And on the front we also have another glare proof sapphire crystal matching that of the back, obviously bigger to match the size of the dial. We have a silver dial silvered white dial, sort of with a sort of hobnail type of texture at the center, giving it a very nice sense of distinction with that texture. So you can, you know, really differentiate the numbers from the rest of the dial and it gives it a good sense of contrast with that moonphase at the six o'clock. The day aperture in a interesting position at the one 30 position, as you can see. Sort of located between the outer most primitive dial in the center, we have the hours in minute hands. Center mounted, small seconds at the nine o'clock and a moonphase indicator at the six o'clock. Looks very nice if you have the light angled on it at just the right angle. Obviously, in a light box, it's not going to look as nice. But on your wrist during, you know, in the daylight, it's much better. We have Arabic numerals for all the even numbers, including 12, except the six. That's so that you have more space for that moonphase, as you can see. We have index markers for all odd numbers, as well as the six and on the newer versions of this watch, there are all index hour mark's. So this one being an older generation does have a very nice sort of aesthetic to it with those Arabic numerals on it. Making it much, a little bit easier to read. Allright, now, taking a look at the functions of this watch. At the base position for the crown, you can just simply wind it. And charge that mainspring barrel, and it works just fine. Now you can pull the crown out to the next position, and this allows you to then change the date forward by one. And I'm not sure you can hear this. But there's a little, a little ping each time the date advances forward, and also note that there are two separate disks for the date. One, two, and three, as well as zero in the 10's position. And you have the full zero through nine representation in the one's position. Allright, so nice and easy there to advance the date. It's about a half turn to advance the date each time. All right. Pull the crown out to the final position and note that the seconds hand does have that hacking or stop seconds function. So you can then actually place that minute hand precisely wherever it needs to go. Based on the position of that second's hand. Line up with your atomic clock, press the crown all the way back in to ensure the waterproofness of this watch. Now the waterproofness is 30 meters or a 100 feet. So I wouldn't take this more than, you know, surface swimmable. At most you can take this to your backyard pool. You can it to the ocean. Just fine. Just be sure to rinse it off with clear water afterwards. Allright, so what makes all of this work? It is the movement, the 6, 9, 1, I believe. It's right there on the, the movement. The 6, 9, 1. Yeah, it has a total of 50 hours of power reserve, I believe. Now I'm not entirely certain. Yes. Six, 50 hours of power reserve beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. So nice and high beat rate. You have the four Hertz or eight times per second movement, for that small seconds hand. So you can be certain that you're keeping track of time just fine. And this is Zenith. So Zenith is kind of a, not as big of a watchmaker as Rolex, but they have made their own movements and place them into Rolex watches. Specifically there's a Zenith El Primero movement found in the older generation of Daytonas. And you know certainly they've been making movements for other watch manufacturers. They can certainly make their own movements with no problem at all. So I have full confidence that this movement is actually comparable to that, of what Rolex is able to put out, or even, you know, the higher watch brands as well. And taking a look at the framing of this watch. Let's zoom out a bit. We have a black alligator leather strap matching sort of like, or contracting rather beige interior with a matching black stitching, going all the way through. Right, large scales, closer to the case. And the scales become a little bit smaller as you get closer to the end of each strap. Now this is a double deployment, just a pull open double deployment clasp. As you can see, you have the Zenith logo, nice and sandblasted inside that smooth clasp. You also have hallmarks on here to show that you are dealing with rose gold in this clasp, as well as on the case. You have a pin buckle style function here. There's a lock underneath that allows you to then open it up and then pull the pin out and size it accordingly to your wrist. All right, now, while we're here, I can actually show it on my wrist, wear it myself. So you have an idea of how it wears and how it feels. Okay, so I have the size to the absolute maximum. So this is not gonna be, you know, tight to my wrist, but keep in mind my wrist is about seven inches or 18 centimeters in circumference. So if I were to pull this closer to me. Well, it is a bit large on my wrist because, well, I prefer 36 millimeters myself, but a 40 millimeter is probably as high as I would ever go. But it's fine because the lugs sort of protrude outward from the case, as you can see, there's plenty of space underneath these lugs on the sides here. So you can then, you know, you have plenty of breathing room underneath the leather straps, which is fine in my case. And that's actually a good part as well, because it does allow for a little bit more of that framing of the bracelet or the strap in this case. So, Pretty good if your wrist is larger than mine, it would fit much better. Your wrist. I probably wouldn't go smaller than say 16 centimeters or maybe six and a half inches in circumference. Allright, and when it comes to the overall weight, the wearability given that this is all rose gold, it's actually incredibly light. And with that very, very small form factor, it slides very easily under suit cuff. So it definitely suits the dressier style, as you know. Obviously indicated by the leather strap. Also the high contrast face here makes it incredibly easy to read at any time of the day. All right, so enough of what I think, what do you guys think about this watch? It's kind of an older generation Zenith class elite. Moonphase watch here. And also, let me also demonstrate here. There's a moonphase complication on here that can be set using the pusher. So all you need to do is just set it, press the pusher on the eight o'clock side of the case. To advance the moonphase at the six o'clock position. Now I think generally certain times of the day may require, it may be the important to not do so during the time that the date wheel is engaged. So let me move it to a better time of the day here. All right. All right and there we go. The moonphase can be advanced, nice and easily using the pusher at the eight o'clock position. As long as the date wheel is not engaged. So between the hours of say 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, no pro, no issues there. Allright and doing so advances by about a day or so. So the easiest way to do so is to find the nearest new moon. When the moon is completely hidden and then just advance it by and click it by however many days since the last new moon. So just advance it to ever to wherever it happens to be. Wherever the moon happens to be. And you're good to go. No need to mess with this until the moon actually leaves the orbit of the earth, but that's all physics. That's all astronomy. Neither here nor there. But you know, this'll be keeping track of time, just fine beyond that point.
