The El Primero movement is the star, and from 1988 to 1999, that movement formed the basis for Rolex’s legendary Cosmograph Daytona. Properly known as the Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Open Power Reserve, this Zenith chronograph is a perfect storm of style and substance.
And for those who build and sell luxury watches, Zenith is the rainmaker. Indeed, all of these storied brands have, at one point, bent the knee to the master from Le Locle, a company whose genius and capability always outstripped its publicity chops. Zenith is an innovation powerhouse that inspires universal reverence among those who know and love the collector scene. And Zenith has quite a posse: Movado, Ebel, Ulysse Nardin, Parmigiani, Hublot , Panerai, TAG-Heuer – and a Geneva upstart called Rolex. It may seem off-beat to open a discussion of this stunning Zenith El Primero Chronomaster with a roll call of rival watchmakers, but the list of Zenith groupies says more than praise ever could. The high-beat movement is glorified and visible within the Chronomaster dial. Within this Chronomaster Open, the El Primero enters the 21st century in style. Rolex’s choice for its Daytona, Zenith’s El Primero caliber is the Cadillac of chronographs. The Zenith Chronomaster Open Power Reserve “El Primero” is a living legend.
