Introduced in 1969, the El Primero calibre stands among the most celebrated automatic chronograph movements ever conceived, distinguished by its high-frequency performance and enduring technical significance. For more than half a century, it has remained a cornerstone of Zenith’s horological identity and has notably served as the foundation for select Rolex Daytona models between 1988 and 2000.


The present timepiece, crafted in stainless steel, showcases the versatility of this legendary movement through the addition of a triple calendar and moon phase complication. Despite the complexity of its indications, the dial retains a pleasing sense of proportion and clarity, demonstrating a thoughtful integration of function and design.
