lmaggoo 0 Posted May 23, 2018 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 crystalBack: Glass case-backMovement: Manual wind - Venus Everything is functional including the power reserve Sharing some wristshots: Excuse the poor photography.

Glaude 1,615 Posted May 23, 2018 That's nice indeed ! And the photography is not poor at all Thanks for sharing ! I prefer the Cohiba limited edition version though : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmaggoo 0 Posted May 23, 2018 It definitely looks nice and better than the new open heart el primero's. They have too much going in the dial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xpletiv 16 Posted May 23, 2018 That Cohiba looks better with the cut-outs matching the gears/wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrZoSo 15 Posted June 6, 2019 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
