Blomman Mr Blue introduces the Zenith El Primero Big Date Special, showcasing its 42mm brushed stainless steel case and mesh bracelet. The post invites community feedback on this chronograph, which combines a vintage aesthetic with modern dimensions and a prominent big date complication.
Not long ago I had the chance to see the El Primero Big Date Special on mesh bracelet.
42 mm of brushed stainless steel.
30 minutes chronograph and big date indicator.
A big and strong watch with a vintage look.
What do you think?
Me, I like it!

i bought it some 3 weeks ago. A lot of watch for the money. Best Kari
I am not so sure about that. While traditional, the huge gap between case and bracelet appears weird now. I consider a nice brown leather strap to be more appropriate with this watch. Marcus
as a more bold end link with a seamless attachment to the lugs (e.g. as masterfully done by Blancpain) would in my view spoil the specific mesh appeal of the strap. Best, Magnus
Again, congratulation, Kari! :) Yes, a lot of bang for the buck! ;) Best Blomman
Bracelet kind of guy, for me - this mesh would end up in the box for sure... I do like it, it is a very well made bracelet, but I would probably not wear it. The watch I would not have any problem to wear! :) Best Blomman
Here I rather see the gap than a solid end link. Best Blomman
