1) As an adjective: attractive in a delicate way without being beautiful. "she has a pretty face."
2) As an adverb: to a moderately high degree; fairly: "they looked pretty sad."
3) As a noun: an attractive object: "a pretty flower."

I dislike and avoid the term "pretty". It is used by some folk as a "stand-off to insult" as in a dirty-snotty child addressed as "Now aren't you a pretty thing."...then laughing and walking away. A loving person will see the child at a distance and attend to their obvious needs in an approprate-kind manner.

With a new complete calendar caliber, Zenith has officially ushered its Triple Calender, equipped with a moon phase complication, back into the fold. Not only link is this model vintage-inspired, but, as our own link Tony Traina has already mentioned in this article, the Chronomaster Original Triple Calender uses the exact proportions and link design blueprint as the 1969 model that this piece pays homage to with its 38mm x 13mm thick case.
