Zenith Chronomaster Wristshots

[lmaggoo 0]

I’ve seen plenty of beautiful pilots on the forum but haven’t really seen this version of the Zenith El Primero Chronomaster.
 
Not sure if you guys find it interesting enough but I personally fell in love with this version from 2012-2015 the moment I saw it at my AD.
 
It makes for a gorgeous dress watch on a real alligator band. Moreover the fact that it’s not that common makes it even more appealing to me (I can tell you the I’ve received some serious compliments for this over my Sub or DSSD - who doesn’t like compliments ).

Quick specs:

Dial: Open heart 40 mm dial with a nice sapphire crystal
Back: Glass case-back
Movement: Manual wind - Venus
Everything is functional including the power reserve

That's nice indeed ! And the photography is not poor at all

Thanks for sharing !

I prefer the Cohiba limited edition version though :

It definitely looks nice and better than the new open heart el primero's. They have too much going in the dial.

That Cohiba looks better with the cut-outs matching the gears/wheels.

This is a Rep, right?

Thanks for introducing me to Zenith dress watch!

Very beautiful!

Which TD did you buy it from? Or is this gen?

Unfortunately it's a gen, I don't know any rep of it.

OP pictures shows the best they were able to do in regards of the movement placement / opening

Gorgeous! How much does the gen cost?

Had to look hard to find this one. Finally, Mary helped me source it.

Holy crap, hat gorgeous. Do I see a purple escape wheel?????

[MrZoSo 15]

The rep pictured in the posts above has a hand winding ST-19. Great movement but total BS when it comes to this watch as the El Primero is an unmistakable legendary automatic movement. 

They did Rep the Chronomaster model with a nice replica A7750 with a decent rotor, but the date wheel was misplaced and the rep was an outrageous 500 bucks.

I still wanted it even with the flaws. 

I love the Chronomaster and was very close to pulling the trigger on the Gen, but chickened out 2 times.

Ugh....
