About this watch
The Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 42 is a statement piece that combines sleek design with impressive functionality, seamlessly blending aesthetics and engineering prowess. The grey dial exudes sophistication, while the stainless steel case adds robustness. The beautifully arranged dial features stick indexes and hands for excellent legibility, along with an anthracite color that shifts in tone depending on light, giving the watch a dynamic appearance.

The date position has been thoughtfully altered to enhance aesthetics while maintaining readability. A comfortable alligator leather strap complements the watch's durability, courtesy of its stainless steel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. With a water resistance of up to 100 meters, this timepiece can withstand daily life, making it perfect for various occasions.
