A Zenith strapped to your wrist, especially an El Primero, will only be a symbol of prestige.
When it comes to the brand awareness, Zenith is an absolute star. You may not be a devoted watch enthusiast but, be sure that there will be plenty of them around. Let’s put together the main answers to the question from the angle of an average user with an intention of seeing watches as plain accessories which should fit his/her character and the possible occasions. In fact, the best way to answer that question is given by looking from two different angles. I have asked myself the below question after a ten days test drive which I believe is enough to have an idea about a watch Roland explains, “It has the major advantage of extending the service interval, but at the same time it brings a nice aesthetic feature to the watch where you can see the violet color of the these parts that are made of silicon instead of traditional metal.I’ve been wearing a Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Power Reserve -the one we have reviewed previously here in Horobox- for about ten days. Most notably, the current Chronomaster Power Reserve models use a silicon escape wheel and pallet fork. While the opening may be the same, due to advancements in watchmaking technology, the quality of the visible components have been enhanced. Accordingly, it’s no surprise that it’s the shape they retained for the current collection. While Zenith came out with other open models in the early and mid 2000s that featured various shaped windows, only the Chronomaster Open allowed a complete view of the balance and escapement wheel. While most of the aesthetic lines from this time period have been culled from the current collection, the skeletal opening used on what was then called the “Chronomaster Open” watch is almost identical to that of the current El Primero Chronomaster Power Reserve. The Power Reserve Indicator and lumed tri-spoke second hand of the new Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Power Reserve Charles Vermot The Chronomaster Power Reserve Charles Vermot retails for $9,800 and is limited to 1975 units: 1975 is also the year that Mr. To his delight, the parts and tools were discovered by new ownership and were instrumental in the continuation of Zenith’s mechanical chronographs. Vermot had hoped, the manufacture of automatic chronographs once again became a priority at Zenith. Instead of carrying out this task, he secretly hid away the presses, technical plans, and equipment used in the creation of El Primero. The watch’s namesake, Charles Vermot, was a foreman at Zenith’s factory, and was charged with the task of disassembling Zenith’s El Primero production assembly and selling it off for parts. In the mid 70s, Zenith was sold to American owners who decided to discontinue the manufacture of mechanical chronographs altogether.

While Zenith had come out with the first El Primero in 1969 and designed a series of attractive chronographs in the early 1970s, the company struggled financially. The first era that the watch evokes is that of the mechanical watch industry’s struggles during the mid 70s. The skeletal opening on the Chronomaster Power Reserve Charles Vermot Limited Edition is very similar to the shape of the models from the early 2000s, though the watch features modern elements like a silicon pallet fork and escapement wheel.
