The date using a red color is displayed at the 6 o’clock whilst the three sub dials are centrally aligned taking up the 9, 3, and 6 o’clock real estate, and they have multiple colors too, from light grey, anthracite to dark blue. At first glance, the dial seems dirty but then this watch is a complicated watch and you don’t have to look at the case back to have a glimpse of the movement. I almost didn’t notice the beautiful lugs when examining the smooth bezel, so yeah this one’s carefully designed for the collectors. Everything with it is in complete harmony, talk about the subtle pushers and the well-balanced crown. The El Primero’s 45mm case is made of black DLC titanium and features a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. In comparison, most chronographs in the market takes 60 seconds for a complete revolution. Nonetheless, for the technically inclined, the El Primero’s greatest strength is its extreme precision thanks to its unusually high 36000 beats per hour movement capable of driving its foudroyante second hand in a full revolution within 10 seconds only. The high beat movement of the El Primero is not new but as I’ve mentioned, for the Only Watch 2015 event, they came up with the reintroduced lightweight design, basically it’s referring to the barebones dial. That was many decades ago, but the technology still applies today albeit with more refinements and the extraordinary mix of design and function. As far as I remember, Tudor was accompanied by the Heuer Calibre 11 and the Seiko 6139. The world’s first automatic chronographs appeared first in 1969. Well, it is and I won’t be alone to say that the Zenith El Primero is indeed a thing of legend. Now before you get too excited about this new feature, bear in mind that lightweight here is applied to the aesthetics of the watch, now that’s something legendary. Lightweight, who doesn’t love lightweight stuff? If you’re driving a lightweight car, then you get to save extra fuel or if you’re traveling with a lightweight baggage, then you get to be more relaxed. Now, there is something that I particularly love about the Zenith El Primero, the uniquely applied lightweight word. Of course, basing from our experiences from the said event, we know just how crazy the watches could be. We’ve heard so much about it and we seriously anticipate the remarkable watches to be auctioned.
