    Well I've had these two Zenith Ultra Thins:

    Index Only


    or the Roman Numeral Version


    And this AT:


    The other two Zenith never were considered so read into that what you want?

    If you are looking for a dress watch then the index only Zenith Ultra Thin would be my suggestion. If Dual use (Dress/casual), then the AT is the better choice IMO.

    Zenith Central Second would be my pick out of the ones listed. Although, I would also look at the Espada model, which looks a little more like an AT. Although, I think it has been discontinued, but you may still find one on chrono24, for example.

    I agree with this, the Zenith UT is far dressier than the Aquaterra. The AT is a nice Sporty dress, but certainly not dressy. The Teak dial makes the issue even more complex, it definitely is Sporty then.

    I own 2 AT's, and enjoy them a lot...but they aren't dressy, especially with the bracelet option. The Skyfall on leather could work, but there are many great thinner pieces that would work better. The thickness becomes an issue with the 8500 movement, especially with long sleeves/jacket-suit. JMHO

    The other option I was going to suggest would be a Nomos Zurich or Orion.



    Zurich



    Orion

    I have been looking at the Nomos Orion for a longtime as well. Orion with the blue hands is very nice. I don't think not having a date would really bother me since it would only be worn occasionally. Now the Zurich? Well that's something to also consider. Will still keep this option open. Thank you for bringing it up.

    This grey dial is stunning.

    The Orion is a great choice also, simple & elegant...the silver can be tad difficult to read in certain lighting situations tho. For your wrist I'd look at the Orion 38, or larger models, they all wear larger based on the thin bezel....they are ALL dial watches.

    The AT is the only one that is versatile enough for me to use regularly. The rest are all dressy and I no longer consider watches with leather because of limitations it imposes.
