Zenith and Range Rover present the new Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition (you'll like the dial changes!!!)

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.”
