Zenith to Launch 2 New El Primero Chronomaster Models at Basel (1969 and Open Grande Date Moon & Sunphase).Posted by Jaw
To broaden their popular El Primero Chronomaster line of models, Zenith will be launching 2 more models, the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 and the El Primero Chronomaster Open Grande Dae Moon & Sunphase.
The El Primero Chronomaster 1969 is inspired by what Zenith termed as "world's most accurate mechanical calibre beating at 10 vibrations per second" (36,000vph) which "gave rise to the legendary El primero Chronograph". Cased only in Stainless Steel and measured 42mm in diameter, the new Chronomaster 1969 will feature the same "colour code" as that of the original 1969 version in midnight blue and also in anthracite dial. Zenith also boasted an entirely new El Primero movement "entirely developed, fine-tuned and produced in-house" in the form of 282 parts Calibre 4061 - beating at 36,000vph with a power reserve of 50 hours. 
TBC...El Primero Chronomaster Open Grande Date Moon & Sunphase...
Combining what Zenith termed as "an alliance of useful complications", the new El Primero Chronomaster Open Grande Date Moon & Sunphase features a chronograph measuring up to 1/10 of a second, indicating hour, minutes, small seconds, big date and by means of two concentric discs, displays the "moon and sunphases" at 6 o'clock.
While I think it is interesting to display 24 hours Day/Night together with moonphase in two superimposed discs, Zenith calls the "poetic" complication specific to Zenith and explained the complication as being "portrayed by an indication reflecting the double path of the sun and moon by means of two superimposed discs. The transparent uppler disc with two polished metallic moons performs one rotation every 59 days (standard moonphase disc), while the lower day/night disc makes one full turn every 24 hours". The watch is available in both Stainless Steel and Pink Gold case. Enjoy!
