We know that there are currently four sizes of Cartier Blue balloon series, which are small 28.6mm / 9.35mm, medium 36.6mm / 12.05mm, large 42.1mm / 13mm and super large 46.1mm / 12.9. In view of the size of the mechanical movement, only medium-sized or larger blue balloon watches are equipped with mechanical movements. Small blue balloons are quartz movements.

 Blue balloon ultra-thin watch related information is very limited, what we can understand is that this watch has a diameter of 46mm, which belongs to the super-large models in the blue balloon series. According to the published pictures, the thickness of the watch should be about 6mm, which places higher requirements on the thickness of the movement.

 There are two models of this watch, the blue dial / platinum case / blue crocodile strap, and the silver sun dial / rose gold case / brown alligator strap. Both watch designs are very simple, with hour and minute display, the scale is Cartier’s classic Roman numerals, X in the 12 o’clock scale has the word ‘Cartier’.

After the launch of Zenith’s flagship full-hollow watch Jiangcheng, this exquisite and mechanically attractive chronograph has begun to be sold. Recently, we saw this exquisite new timepiece when we visited the Cuiwei Building Store in Beijing Shengshi Watch Store. The fully open and skeletonized dial presents a mechanical movement in front of the eyes, with a smooth, full stainless steel / 18k rose gold case, and a mature, elegant checked leather strap. Let’s take a look together: (watch model: 51.2081.400 / 78.C810)

   The brand presents its legendary El Primero chronograph in three different versions: a fully closed dial, a happy window dial, and a fully open dial. Among them, the fully open dial design is the latest and most modern interpretation, and is also the flagship work of the brand’s new release season this year. And the first person to wear this watch was Zenith’s brand ambassador Ding Junhui, which even set off his unique general style and mellow gentleman charm.

   The stainless steel / 18k rose gold case perfectly combines the polished and polished rose gold with the polished and polished steel. It presents a different look and feel and is very beautiful.

   The exquisite crown is engraved with Zenith’s ‘Five Stars’ logo, giving the brand a full logo style. The surrounding is provided with a non-slip texture pattern, which is convenient for debugging the watch. Above and below are the start / pause of the timing, and the reset button, which together with the crown form the debugging device of the watch. The operation feel is excellent.

   With a skeletonized dial, three-color chronograph, small seconds at 9 o’clock, 30 minutes at 3 o’clock, 12 hours at 6 o’clock, gold plated, faceted and covered with SuperLuminova SLN The hour marker of C1 luminous material and the pointer of the same material design contrast each other, the time indication is clear and intuitive, and the date display dial is located at the 6 marker position.

   With El Primero 400 B, it has a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations / hour. Has a 50-hour power reserve. Through the back cover design, you can see the ‘Côtes de Genève’ motif on the exquisite automatic rotor.

   With a well-defined black or brown crocodile leather strap and rubber lining, the texture is comfortable. Connected with a stainless steel tri-fold clasp, it is very convenient to take off and wear the watch, and it is full of reliability.
Summary: Since the brand’s new product launch conference, the 2017 watch exhibition models have begun to sell in stores. It is reported that even if the store has not yet arrived, ordering services are supported. Regardless of whether it is the pilot series or the flagship series, both in appearance and performance, Zenith’s watches this year are relatively good.
