exists in black and this colored version About 5.000 pieces were made and for me it's one of THE El Primero's to have ...

Despite its date between 4 and 5 o clock, I always liked that one. Nice photos, too. Very cool!

Most of the times I prefer watches without date ... but if they have one

imo the best is between 4 and 5 ( or between other numbers) I hate it when the date eats up indices when they put it at 3 o'clock

I do get your point. ;)

I would be interested in the new Zenith Chrono Sport in this color scheme also. Thanks for posting. M4

They tried years ago with the Stratos and it did not work There is something about these rainbows that makes them so special

I had a colored dial on the black shark strap with red stitching and deployant. It’s amazing how long ago that was. I remember the crystal AR coating had an unusual red tint and was very easy to mar.
