I can say that I have found this case type that I have seen in different models in the Chronomaster Collection quite successful. There is the classic embossed star logo on the top of the winding crown. A thin line is added to the heads of the piston style pushers. The model’s winding crown and chronograph pushers are inspired by the classic El Primero Chronograph model. The caseback is attached to the case with four little screws.Īlthough I do not care much about dress watch style models, it is obviously a little unsettling about waterproofing with miniature screw or snap-on casebacks in sports models. Equipped with AR coated sapphire crystals on both sides, the case is water resistant to 100 meters. The case, which has a diameter of 42mm, offers a combination of mirror polished and satin brushed surfaces.

The model’s case shares the same platform with the rest of the Chronomaster Collection in terms of design. The version we chose for our review is the 42mm diameter one with the reference 03.2081.400.

The brands which was imprinted on almost every watch enthusiast’s mind with its legendary El Primero model, remains on the agenda with its product line which that has been renovated in recent years and its CEO change frequency which can be regarded as a record for a long-established and relatively static sector like traditional watchmaking. The guest of our Hands On corner is a Zenith again.

The Swiss brand Zenith, which continues its activities under the LVMH Group, is under the spotlight with the Chronomaster El Primero Full Open model, which is a member of the Chronomaster Collection and is presented to the watch enthusiasts as one of the Baselworld 2017 novelties.
