But now they've removed the seconds scale from the running seconds sub-dial and the 30 minutes scale from the chrono hours subdial!

No issue la.
You should look at Autavia, only got 2.5 minute scale on 30 mins subdial!

Maybe can use the chrono's second hand/needle as reference if u want to set the time precisely..

It's about time...
Now the 38mm version is as close as it gets to the vintage A386
Very very cool

hmmm they have took out the seconds indicator in the new dial. I prefer the old one though. and zenith should re-designed the el primero to introduce second hands hacking after such as long time since the 1960s.

Even the grand seiko high beat ones is hackable...
