For more about the history of this great brand you can see our Zenith Watch History & News page. There are many different and conflicting stories about who was first to achieve this, but overall it’s generally accepted that the El Primero was first. The year was 1969, and the race was on to make the first automatic chronograph watch.
The 38 pieces will exclusively be sold through Zenith retailer timelessluxwatches.If you’re like me and somewhat of a watch geek you’ll know all about the history and story behind the now legendary Zenith El Primero. Price for the Zenith Chronomaster El Primero 38mm Final Edition will be $8,800 on the three leather straps and $9,850 on bracelet with the three leather straps, as well. There will also be a steel bracelet option that includes those three leather straps, though I am not certain about the exact number out of 38 that will have this bracelet option. The 38mm Chronomaster Final Edition is going to come with three calf-leather straps in red, blue, and gray that match the subdial windows.
3523.80.00 that is 39mm and pretty perfect. I actually quite like sub-40mm chronographs and own an old Omega Speedmaster Reduced Ref. Of course, I’m going by memory from the last time I wore a 38mm El Primero, but I have done so on several occasions. I believe the lug-to-lug height for this soon-to-be-gone case is just around 46mm, which is more than one would guess for a 38mm, but it makes for a very wearable watch. The 38mm-wide case should be just around 12.45mm-thick and has 100M of water resistance, as is the case with previous iterations. Of course, it operates at a frequency of 36,000 vph and has a 50-hour power reserve. Zenith uses the El Primero 4061 movement here, which is the no-date model, and I think the type of enthusiasts who will pick up one of these 38 pieces likely will likely appreciate this choice.
