Zenith celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the El Primero, one of the greatest chronograph movements ever made, with this special 18k Gold Revival of the original Gold El Primero Chronograph, the G381 released in the sixties. This watch has been released exclusively through horological media platform, HODINKEE. Only 50 examples were made and sold.
With this watch, Zenith attempted to make the revival as close to the original G381 as possible. Clocking in 38mm, it's true to the original diameter and gives the perfect fit for a revival. This watch has a Panda White Dial, and unlike it's steel counterpart, this watch has Non-Overlapping sub-registers, which was characteristics of the original gold chronograph. Also noteworthy is the acrylic crystal, which we always like on a vintage revival. This watch is powered by the legendary El Primero chronograph movement. On the backside the case is numbered xx/50, and engraved *1969-2019*.
On the wrist, this watch is effortless. Zenith hit this one right on the head, with a perfect diameter, and great vintage vibes. This watch takes well to a variety of different straps, but is partial to dark brown.
One last thing I'll mention is the Warranty. This watch comes with a staggering 50 year complimentary warranty from Zenith! Yes you read that right. The warranty will cover any manufacturing defects, as well normal wear and tear of components, and covers the cost of all servicing during this period.
