This type of watch has fascinated me for many years, since I began to love the watches... so this model breaks through an open door!
I agree with Chris about the subdial... Maybe one day Zenith (and many other brands!) will manage also the movement diameter and not only the case!
Said that, I hope to see it in metal as soon as possible: I wonder if there will be other dial colors...
Thank you for the picture, Nilo
Zenith El Primero Calibre 410 - How to do a proper re edition ...
Team, Zenith just announced the "El Primero 410" (click here to see the announcement) and this watch makes me very happy for one great reason. It's not a plain re edition and Zenith didn't made any attempt to create a "faux" vintage styled one. What Zenit...
because of the bigger case...
...to my eyes it seems to have the 3 registers too much close the center of the dial. thanks very much for this post, but i have to say i don't like it so much. best regards, chris
You need to see it "in metal" ...
After all it's only an increase of 3mm on the diameter. Cheers, Nilo

Thanks Massimiliano ...
I agree that Zenith should come with an El Primero Version 2.0 but I'm very fine with this 410. Cheers, Nilo
This is indeed a very attractive watch! ...
I, too, loved the "original" Chronomaster version shown in the picture, but always wondered why Zenith decided not to offer a 410 with a "Class 4" design and luminous hands that could be really seen all the time, instead of the practically useless faceted...
Thanks Marcus ...
I agree, in part with the case design but after I saw my watchmaker removing the movement of my late Chronomaster, I believe that he will approve this new design. I don't agree with the Omega comparison. If it was an Omega design it should have those twis...
Exactly the "twisted lugs" of the re-edition ...
... reminded me of the Omega: Or did the press picture mislead me? Marcus ...
I just saw ...
... that I was mislead indeed. I just looked at other pictures of contemporary Zeniths, and they made clear that the lugs are not "twisted" inwards, but straight on the top. So there is a difference. I recall the old Chronomaster case did not have a full ...
The old Chronomaster ...
To remove the movement you need to open the case back, release the crown and the movement only goes out after the bezel/crystal is removed because it goes out to the front. Not a trivial operation. Cheers, Nilo
Oh no ...
Check this other picture (source, Zenith). Not twisted but chamfered. In any case, we all need to see the 410 "in metal". Cheers, Nilo ...
Thanks for posting, but what were the designers thinking?
My problem with this re-edition (and the limited edition 410) is that Zenith just used the current "star" chrono hand from the standard El Primero lineup without consideration for how it would work on a moonphase watch. As you can see from Nilo's photo, t...
I agree ... In part ...
From many view angles, quite a few the star will block the view and it needs to be full moon. And, finally, I love this red star. Cheers, Nilo
