Built around the celebrated El Primero 400 B automatic chronograph calibre, the new Zenith El Primero Sport presented at Baselworld 2015 has a resolute sporty nature with an imposing 45 mm stainless steel case and ribbed crown and pushpieces for optimal grip and enhanced security. Thanks to the screwed in pushpieces, the watch is water resistant to a depth of 200 metres.
Topped by a domed sapphire crystal, the El Primero Sport ensures a perfectly smooth fit on the wrist thanks to ergonomically designed lugs.
The El Primero 400 B calibre features an integrated column-wheel construction and beats at a cadence of 36,000 vibrations/hour. Combining high frequency with a remarkable more than 50-hour power reserve, the El Primero 400B movement drives central hours and minutes hands, small seconds at 9 o’clock, along with chronograph functions and a 6 o’clock date display. The transparent sapphire case-back reveals the mechanism of the movement and its oscillating weight adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif.
Two are the dial variations: silver-toned or slate grey dial, both with a lamé hand finish (a technique which creates a textured vertical-brushed pattern). The large faceted hour-markers and the sword shaped hands are coated with Super-LumiNova offer excellent legibility in any ligtht condition.
To enhance the dynamic look, the chronograph sweep-seconds hand, bearing the star emblem, is clad in a deep red echoed by the inscription "36’000 VpH" painted in crimson red in the upper part of the dial. The tachometric scale appears on the inner bezel ring.
The two dial variations are matched by three different strap versions. The silver-toned dial is fitted with an elegant dark brown alligator leather strap. The second model with slate grey dial is available with a steel bracelet featuring brushed central links and polished outer links or with a black rubber strap. zenith-watches.com
