In at least one award last year the Zenith Striking 10th was voted best watch of 2010. The cool character was on many people’s minds as it was a highlight of a reinvented brand. The irony of course was that as Zenith reinvented themselves and asked everyone to forget its recent past, they also asked people to recall Zenith’s slightly more distant past as the brand was to “rediscover its roots.” I really liked the El Primero Striking 10th Chronograph watch – but never really understood the name. This year the Striking 1oth is back, and now wears a Stratos suit of armor.
