    After it's initial preview to select members of the jewellery trade in Dubai back in March, Basle was the official launch of the Mega Port Royal Open Grande Date from Zenith. 

'The Mega' certainly lives up to it's name and it's huge proportions will certainly be popular with those with a big enough personality to carry it off.  Evolving from the successful Port Royal Open, Zenith have 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. 

The case measures a whopping 40mm x 57mm.



Here is what Zenith have to say about the new Mega Port Royal Open Grande Date:

"This year a new model is added to the Port Royal Open in rose gold and stainless steel, already available in two sizes, the Mega Port Royal Open Grande Date. A new vision for the future. This timepiece has a new and more imposing case in brushed steel that stands out and is meant exclusively for strong personalities. The basalt black or metal grey dials are chiseled with geometric perpendicular lines. The power reserve design has been redesigned as a horizontal accelerator pedal picked out with a bright red indicator. These two alternatives are offered with an integral matte rubber strap for a sporty look or in black alligator for a more elegant touch.

Mastering the passage of time is denoted with a day-by-day progression and for this a new complication has been added: the new El Primero 4039 B chronograph, visible as usual through the rectangular opening of the Open at 11 o’clock. It is endowed with a Grande Date whose functioning is made possible thanks to a revolutionary 3-disk patented system."


The watch will be available from November onwards and is a real statement piece.  If you like it largem then maybe you should try the mega!
