Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition

At the occasion of the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show, Zenith and Land Rover are celebrating their relationship by presenting a new Chronomaster El Primero timepiece.

In 1969, Zenith unveiled its fabled El Primero chronograph. That same year, British car manufacturer Land Rover introduced the prototype of the very first luxury off-road vehicle: the iconic Range Rover, which hit the markets in 1970. Fired by the same pioneering spirit and the same ability to explore new horizons, these two original creations achieved legendary status.
Inspired by ideas from both brands’ product design and engineering departments, the new Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition embrace the heritage and strong credentials of two legends.

Beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, the self-winding chronograph movement El Primero 400B offers a 50 hour-power reserve, the hours and minutes in the center, the small seconds at 9 o’clock, date at 6 o'clock, tachymeter scale on the dial, anf, for the chroograph functions, the central chronograph hand and 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. The special oscillating weight is adorned with “circular satin-brushed” motif.
