The Zenith Christophe Colomb watch - one of the best watches revealed in 2010

The Zenith Christophe Colomb watch won this prestigious title due to the patented ZeroGravitation (0g) system, which counteracts the effect of gravity without a tourbillon. The Zenith’s gyroscopic escapement offers excellent precision and till manages to adjust the position of the escapement with the wearer’s wrist, and compensate the changes in force.

The design of Zenith Christophe Colomb watch is inspired by the legendary marine chronometer instrument. The striking and unique design represents a glass globe that encloses a gyroscope-balanced regulator. As you can see on the pictures, the globe protrudes above both the top and the back of the case.

The watch is available in two variations: in pink gold and white gold. The piece utilizes manually wound Zenith Academy 8804 movement composed of 166 individual parts, 10 conical-geared wheels, and 6 ball bearings. The watch offers a power reserve indicator and autonomy of fairly good 50 hours. There is also small seconds sub-dial positioned at 9 o'clock.

This watch is issued in a limited edition of only 250 pieces, and priced at $209,000.
