Zenith Christophe Colomb Equation Of Time Watch

Zenith was nice enough to show me the follow-up timepiece to last year's Christophe Colomb - with its almost magical looking gyroscopic-style tourbillon. I am not sure of the name of this new for 2011 watch. It might be the Christophe Colomb 2, or perhaps the Christophe Colomb Equation of Time. That latter guess is because in addition to a new symmetrical dial, it has an equation of time complication which tells you the difference between the solar time and our calendar time. UPDATE: I was correct in my guess. It will be called the Christophe Colomb Equation of Time watch.

I do quite like the new dial. The guilloche machine engraved face frames the three dials nicely, and there is a nice mix between using all the space while the dial doesn't look busy. The movement is still manually wound with about two days of power reserve while the dial has a power reserve indicator, the time, an equation of time hand, and the spacey looking gyroscopically suspended escapement. Should be in 18k white and rose gold. Look out for more details on this impressive Zenith watch soon.
