A collection of two Zenith wristwatches
Zenith, Le Locle, "El Primero Automatic - Port Royal V", Movement No. 129429, Ref. 01/02.0450.400, Cal. 400Z, 41 mm, circa 2001
An elegant automatic wristwatch with chronograph and date
Case: steel, screwed on glazed back. Dial: two-tone silvered. Movm.: rotorwind movement, Glucydur balance.
El Primero surely is one of the best known calibres in the watchmaking industry. Even non-insiders or those who take only a fleeting interest in watches are likely to have heard of El Primero - it is a name that stands for supreme quality chronometers. This should not come as a surprise; it is after all a movement built to meet the requirements for over 40 years.
