The 38mm stainless steel case with concave lugs, an inclined bezel and oval chronograph buttons lends a distinctive sportive, yet elegant appeal to this fine timepiece. The sapphire crystal protects the black graceful dial with engine-turned registers, luminous Arabic numerals and hands; an aperture for the date is positioned between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock. The transparent caseback reveals the manual winding movement calibre Zenith 420, which was released in the 1990's and was the first hand-wound version of the classic El Primero movement.
