With this new model by Zenith, the El Primero movement reveals its skeleton.

This complete opening enables clients to grasp and visually appreciate the high frequency of the movement, the signature of the legendary El Primero integrated automatic column-wheel chronograph calibre with its 326 components, beating at the swift pace of 36,000 VpH and offering a 50-hourpower reserve.

Combined with the two other colours, anthracite and rhodium.
