Appreciation of the Zenith El Primero Watch

　　ZenithSince its birth in 1969, the renowned El Primero movement has been loved by all, with different models launched every year based on this exceptional movement. The watch introduced this time is the El Primero chronograph with a large date window and sun and moon phase, launched by Zenith in 2012. The watch features comprehensive functions and a skeletonised section on the dial from 9 to 11 o'clock, revealing the movement and allowing the wearer to feel the rhythm of the watch movement at any time.

　　Introduction to the Zenith El Primero Watch

　　The endlessly running El Primero movement is an extraordinary watchmaking achievement: the world's first automatic chronograph movement, with the rotor positioned on a central ball bearing, and all components and functions integrated as one. After more than five years of research and development, the El Primero was unveiled to the world in March 1969. The movement is delicate and precise, with an inner diameter of 13 lignes (30 mm), a thickness of 6.50 mm, and a thickness of 7.55 mm for the triple calendar model. Ratchet and hammer reset levers are added inside the movement. To this day, it remains a benchmark in the watchmaking industry.

　　Within the 45 mm stainless steel case, the watch displays a multitude of information. Although the dial features multiple display areas, they maintain a subtle balance and symmetry with one another, making the dial harmonious and aesthetically pleasing—a feature well worth praising, as not every Zenith watch achieves this.

　　The section from 9 to 11 o'clock features a skeletonised design, allowing a direct view of the balance spring mechanism, escapement mechanism, and parts of the gear train of the movement through the sapphire crystal, which is simply exquisite.

　　The 2 o'clock position features a large date window, where the black date display on a white background coordinates harmoniously with the white dial. The watch omits the hour totaliser, retaining only the 30-minute chronograph counter located at the 3 o'clock position. The sun and moon phase display at the 6 o'clock position is full of exquisite romantic charm, operating through two overlapping discs: the upper transparent disc, set with two polished metal moon decorations, rotates once every 59 days, while the lower disc used to distinguish day and night rotates once every 24 hours.

　　The case has a thickness of 15.6 mm, giving it a noticeable profile. Viewed from the side, the crown in the middle of the case is decorated with the brand's classic logo, and its robust lines contrast with the charming arc of the lugs.

　　Inside beats the brand's renowned El Primero 4047 automatic movement, beating at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of at least 50 hours. The specially designed oscillating weight is decorated with "Côtes de Genève" motifs.

　　Reading this, I recommend a popular best-selling Zenith watch to everyone. Please add WeChat for further inquiries.
