Zenith El Primero 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Box Set of 3 Men’s Watches

To honor the 50th anniversary of the El Primero, Zenith unveiled a boxed set of three watches destined to be collector’s material. The first is a perfect remake of the 1969 Zenith El Primero chronograph, while the second is a Chronomaster El Primero with optimized movement, and the third is a Defy El Primero 21, accurate to the nearest 1/100th of a second. The Anniversary Box Set is created in a limited edition of just 50 pieces.

A 38mm stainless steel reiteration of the 1969 El Primero chronograph. The El Primero A386 Revival watch is fitted with a curved crystal with magnifying effect, tricolor counters and a tachymeter scale. The only difference in this reissue is that the original had a steel case back, whereas the current watch has a sapphire case back. It is equipped with the current El Primero chronograph movement, which is precise to 1/10th of a second.

A Chronomaster 2.0 El Primero equipped with a new El Primero movement and a black ceramic bezel. The seconds hand on this watch makes one dial turn every 10 seconds to indicate the jump in 10-second integrals from 1 to 100. This watch is a 42mm stainless steel piece that offers 60 hours of power reserve.

A 44mm titanium Defy El Primero 21 chronograph with an El Primero movement beating at 360,000 vibrations per hour (50 Hz). The watch measures and displays one-hundredths of a second on a scale from 1 to 100.
