Owning a piece of living history is no small thing. With Zenith being one of the oldest luxury watch houses in operation, there is a special pleasure in celebrating tradition, innovation, and legacy.�

A powerhouse upon the wrist. That's what the El Primero Striking 10th Chronograph by Zenith is.

Let's first consider the silver-tone dial with its energetic design sensibility.�

At 9 we have a small seconds subdial in restrained grey, while at 3 there is a 60-second chrono counter in dashing blue with a 60-minute counter in handsome dark grey at 6.

In bold red there is a large central 1/10th of a second hand that is easy to read while at 6 we have a classically positioned and appealingly shaped date window.

As a limited-edition watch, only 1,969 pieces were produced, making it a challenge to obtain. The Zenith El Primero 4052 B caliber can be found beating at the heart of this minor masterpiece. Most conveniently this self-winding automatic movement delivers around 50 hours of power reserve.�

The stainless steel case measures 42 mm in diameter, 12.7 mm in height, and rests upon a new alligator leather strap with a stainless steel tang buckle.�

Additional features include a push / pull winding crown, 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.�

Taken all together, the superb craftsmanship, superior capabilities, and handsome stylings of this El Primero Striking 10th by Zenith make it a must-have for the discerning collector.

Standout feature(s):�Limited-edition timepiece of only 1,969 pieces produced; 1/10th of a second measurement and Zenith El Primero 4052 B movement.
