EDITOR'S REVIEW
Zenith's El Primero Chronograph Classic is positive proof that a sporty chronograph can be extremely elegant. Presented in a handsome 42mm stainless steel case, the heart of this men's watch beats at the same high frequency (36,000 att/H) as its iconic brother, El Primero. The case of the Chronograph Classic is new, with an 11mm lean profile and extended lugs, which sit beautifully on the wrist. Instead of the classic three-counter configuration of most chronographs, the watch displays the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and the small seconds at 9 o'clock. The lovely dial is covered by a slightly domed sapphire crystal, and the hands and indices are needle thin. There is also a rose gold version of the Chronograph presented in a limited edition of 150 watches.
