About this watch

The Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 42 Aluminium / Silver / Rubber Strap is a testament to the brand's commitment to precision, style, and innovative design. With its stunning sunburst finish, lightweight yet durable aluminium construction, and high-frequency movement for exceptional accuracy, this watch delivers on all fronts. The addition of a comfortable rubber strap that fits various wrist sizes makes it an excellent choice for both casual and formal occasions. Whether you're a seasoned watch collector or simply seeking an exquisite accessory, this review has got you covered! At the core of the Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 42 lies the Zenith caliber El Primero 400B, an automatic movement renowned for its accuracy and reliability. With a power reserve of up to 50 hours, you can trust that this watch will keep ticking, even if it spends a weekend in your drawer. Its chronograph function with a column wheel allows for smoother operation and greater accuracy when timing events. One of the standout features of this model is the altered date position compared to the regular El Primero 400, positioned thoughtfully within the design. With a water resistance rating of 100 meters, the Chronomaster 42 is not just a pretty face—it's also built for adventure. Whether you're splashing in the pool or caught in a rainstorm, you won't have to worry about water damage.
