Nevertheless, allow me to ask you a question: can you name a modern, standard production Zenith release? Neither can I. 400 is widely regarded as one of the finest pieces of movement engineering. Of course, this may strike you as odd given that the El Primero cal. Displayed in plenty of dealers’ windows, the brand name never has attracted the same attention as Breitling or IWC, leave alone Rolex or Omega. Irrespective of the obvious prestige of the name both historically and, more widely, to horology, the Zenith brand name isn’t exactly a hard one. Credit: Zenith SAīefore leaping to conclusions, though, it’s rather important to consider the El Primero collection in recent years. However, a new watch occasionally comes along which might just present a new dawn for a brand. Quite honestly, there are far too many to be able to give any meaningful description of them all. Here at Watch Chronicler, I do not believe in simply writing about any new watch. Why are this Zenith Chronomaster Sport and its El Primero calibre 3600 important?
Between these two, however, was a watch housing the movement used by today’s launch: a 1/10 th second chronograph based upon the classic, high-beat Zenith movement. You see, Zenith presented the option of a box set including a retro-reincarnation of an original El Primero and a modern, Defy El Primero model. It is for this market that Zenith has launched the El Primero 36000 Chronomaster Sport: a mechanical and cosmetic reimagining of their signature watch.įor some, this new Zenith will seem suspiciously similar to a watch released to celebrate the semicentenary of the original, 1969 watch. Of course, it is yet, in spite of countless vintage remakes, the standard El Primero range appears to seldom redirect the path of a potential Rolex Daytona buyer.
