After its initial preview to select members of the jewellery trade in Dubai back in March, Basel was the official launch of the Mega Port Royal Open Grande Date from Zenith.
The Mega certainly lives up to its name and its huge proportions will be popular among those with a big enough personality to carry it off.
Mega Port Royal Open Grande Date from Zenith
Evolving from the successful Port Royal Open, Zenith has tweaked the design to be more user friendly for the wearer, most notably by placing the power reserve indicator behind the dial – almost in the style of a fuel gauge. It has also included a large date but retained the ‘open’ nature of the watch, whereby you can see into the movement from the front by looking through the dial.
This really does show the craftsmanship of the El Primero movement in all its glory and demonstrates why Zenith is one of only a handful of manufacturers in the Swiss watch industry to make every part from start to finish.

Once again, the first deliveries are due in late 2008, when the price is expected to be £7,500.
