WHY WE LOVE IT

The introduction of the El Primero movement was an unqualified triumph for Zenith.

As (arguably) the first self-winding chronograph movement — hence its name — the El Primero was a horological game-changer. It was the culmination of five years of research and development, and was the first watch to integrate the chronograph within the automatic movement, rather than house it in a module that was sandwiched on top. Moreover, it was also a hi-beat movement, guaranteeing accuracy that was unparalleled — accuracy to within 1/10th of a second.

Following a long and tumultuous history, the modern Zenith company debuted several vintage-inspired chronographs in the 1990s and 2000s that housed contemporary takes on the El Primero movement, including this one. 

Housed in a 38mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished, stepped beel, it features a luminous sunburst silver dial with applied indices, a matching handset, a triple-register chronograph layout, an outer tachymeter scale, and a date window at 4:30. Powered by the automatic Zenith El Primero movement, it comes paired to a blue leather strap with an unsigned, stainless steel pin buckle.

With its terrific proportions, handsome dial, famed, automatic caliber and versatile design, only the slightly oversized case and sapphire display caseback would give this watch away as a modern reissue, rather than a 1960s original.
