ZIENBTH – Moonphase Lady
For the past few years, Zenith has charmed its way into many a lady’s heart. The Marque’s four flagship women’s collections – Star Sea, Star Love, Star Rock and Starissime.
Each collection dished out personality in spades: You could choose to be a beach bunny (Star Sea) one day and glam rock goddess (Star Rock) the next, indulge your inner princess (Star Love) or live the life of a high-society maven (Starissime).
This year, country club kittens get their share of the limelight: the Chrono Masters Moonphase Lady is just the thing to don on golfing green. Its sporty character is highlighted the chronograph functions, powered by an automatic chronograph movement with column-wheel mechanism.
Rounding off this dynamic athlete is a triple calendar, function and moon phase indicator. A glimpse through the transparent case back will reveal a powerful heart, the 357 part El Primero 410 movement with 22K gold rotor.
Keen observers will note that the watch derives from men’s ChronoMaster range, hence the similarity in appearance. The double godron case is smaller (37.5mm in diameter) but the dial maintains the same Roman numeral appliques and grain d’orge (barleycorn) guilloche that made the ChronoMaster so successful. The female of the species also bears a distinctive tiara of diamonds totaling 4.88 carats. In 18K rose or white gold with a white or brown crocodile strap.
MILUS -Zetios Chronograph Joaillerie
Even if you can’t jet to Cannes on a whim, you can still play the part of a Riviera royalty by strapping on this sporty little number. At 45mm, the watch is a bona fide showstopper. We love that the crown is integrated into a protective housing, even though probably the most strenuous activity one might perform is deciding where to have pre- dinner cocktails.
However, that’s not to say the watch is a pushover when it comes to functionality. An automatic chronograph movement provides the driving force for stopwatch functions and the big date display at 12′. If you want to impress your coterie of girlfriends, flip the watch over to view the skeleton rotor through the transparent case back, meticulously crafted to resemble the brand logo.
But if that doesn’t elicit the requisite oohs and aahs, then distract them with the radiant fire from the 62 brilliants set in the bezel. In steel or 18K red gold with mother-of-pearl dial and white alligator strap.
