Zenith has teamed up with the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) to serve as official timekeeper in 2016 for the organization’s vintage races throughout North America.
The Sportscar Vintage Racing Association is now into its 38th racing season and will run sixteen events across the country this year with over 5,000 drivers. Some of these events will be held at legendary tracks such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Watkins Glen, Sonoma Raceway, Circuit of The Americas and Portland International Raceway.
Zenith’s President & CEO Aldo Magada and SVRA’s President & CEO Tony Parella hosted a cocktail party on February 18th at the Classic Car Club Manhattan in New York City. This is a world famous private club that gives its members access to a fleet of the most sought-after cars ever built. Zenith took the opportunity to unveil the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 SVRA, a special edition that incorporates the SVRA logo, powered of course by the legendary beating heart of the El Primero movement.
“This partnership with Svra and vintage race car is not simply a collaborative endeavor, it’s a sharing of values and passions. Passion for mechanics, for competition, for adventure and also for friendship” said Aldo Magada.
The El Primero Chronomaster 1969 SVRA is a special edition issued in a 100-piece limited edition, designed for authentic motorsports enthusiasts with a special interest in vintage racing.
