Which one is selling stronger?
Dear Magnus, thanks a lot - again! 👍🏻
Personally I am also not a big fab of overlapping dials.
But, are we the majority?
If I look at the 2 pics, I wonder which one will/is selling stronger. I would be very much interested to get a feedback from Jean-Claude on this.
PS: Also (honestly) I am also not a big fan of different colors for the subdials. I hope they bring more models with monochrome or panda kind of dials... *hint* 😉😉
"Zenith is the future of tradition" - and a brand that listens to collectors: examplified by the El Primero Chronomaster, 2017 vintage!
Under Jean-Claude Biver's leadership, Zenith has reconsidered its innovative roots as the bearer for the 'future of tradition ', manifested through an astounding 2333 chronometric records and awards. The recently presented Defy Lab Oscillator (see here ) ...
Chronomaster El Primero, 38mm, steel with a grey dial
Same watch, just grey dial instead of blue! ...
Chronomaster El Primero, 38mm, two-tone gold on steel
This is probably the most appealing of them all. Two-tone is on the rise, and I finally am mature enough to admit I love it! ...
Chronomaster El Primero, 42mm, two-tone gold on steel
The larger brother of the original Chronomaster. A nice watch if you like the larger size, but not as compact a horological package as its smaller sibling. The subdials are also not that much separated as with the 38mm version. The reason here is that the...
Chronomaster El Primero, 42mm, full red gold
Almost the same as its two-tone sister, just a bit more formal. For me personally, the two-tone has more thrill to it. ...
Outstanding pictures..all of them..and lovely collection...
blue being favorite of mine. Zenith is back on right path...just not to loose it Cheers D

There are more PuristS chronographs then we knew
Thanks for this background story of a bunch of chronographs influenced by PuristS feedback. Regards, MTF
Thank you so much...
for the review, Magnus! I've been particularly curious about the new and improved 38mm Chronomaster since your very first post about it soon after Baselworld. I think the way they adjusted the size and presentation of the sub-dials was a great compromise ...
Magnus, would you mind telling me if the pushers and crown are also rose gold?
On the Zenith website they appear to be made of steel but in your picture (the one showing the movement), they appear to be gold. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me
Great report, many thanks Magnus
This was a great move made by Zenith to rectify this issue, as well as their efforts to streamline their collections. The 38mm Chronomaster with blue dial or grey dial is very appealing!
Good on Zenith and Mr JCB
BRAVO! The new versions are winners ! The 38mm blue dial is very nice . I hope to see it in the metal in Singapore Cheers Robin
Great review!
Zenith did a fantastic job! i really love the new sub dials layout & size. more faithful towards the A368, IMO if only they did this 2 years earlier... sigh... nevertheless, kudos to the Zenith team! cheers
Personally... I cannot wait!
To see what is coming! Zenith has new fire burning and I believe we are going to see great things coming out of this historic house. Not long until January and a sneak peak to see what is in store! Cheers Andrew
Well done Zenith and JCB!
A brand that truly listens to its customers has won half the battle already! Lovely models! BW, Chi Kai
Jean-Claude Biver is a wonderfully dynamic individual
A visionary yet practical. A man who welcomes all opinions and criticisms, and utilizes the information to improve the brands where appropriate. Accountability. This trait is so important, yet so many humans lack it. It is OK to not be perfect, to make mi...
