The
Zenith Range Rover watches have paved the way for a new design language of elegant restraint, which is taken to the next level with the new
Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition:
It comes with the same
ceramised aluminum case of 42 mm, but a new
brushed grey dial (
without Range Rover logo!) with copper-toned details. Please also take a close look at the new black rubber strap with its inlay of
black-toned perforated calfskin - resembling the United Kingdom flag.
This leather is the same high quality hide used on Range Rovers and is
secured
by a triple folding clasp in DLC-treated titanium.
Movement is the well known El Primero 400B:
Jean-Claude Biver, Zenith CEO & President of the LVMH Watch Division
said:
“Zenith is
the ultimate reference for chronometry (precision timekeeping), having won
2,333 chronometer prizes. The authentic Manufacture is a major player in the
Swiss watch industry. Zenith
stands for Art, Tradition, Culture and above all, produces real and authentic “museum
quality” models at nonetheless affordable prices. It is essential that we preserve
these qualities, as they all belong to the more than 150-year DNA of Zenith. We
are here not just to run a company, but also to serve its brand history and DNA
– just as Range Rover is doing. The main task and challenge we have in common
is a determination to protect our tradition, but at the same time to find the
right and harmonious way of connecting our tradition to the future, while
showing extreme respect for our iconic products.”
(Range Rover Velar - you'll note where the design of the chronograph seconds counter comes from)Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Chief Design Officer, added:
“The Range Rover Velar brings a new dimension
of modernity, elegance and a touch of glamour to the range rover family. The
Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition, created with these
very same principles, comes with a bloodline like no other and is refined for
every occasion. It will stir the emotions.”
