Zenith El Primero A386 Revival « Fine Watch Club Edition »

For its second opus, the Fine Watch Club, the first international club for multi brand watch owners, will offer its members this October, one of the most iconic pieces in Swiss watchmaking: The El Primero. More than a movement, a calibre, or a model, this watch and movement has become almost a brand of its own and a unique story in watchmaking.

El Primero is the mouthpiece of the Zenith manufacture. Since 1865, the movement has accumulated 2,333 awards for its chronometry. Mechanical precision is at the heart of its DNA, and the El Primero is in a constant quest for that precision. With the capability of beating at 36,000VpH per hour ever since 1969, this calibre has been at the heart of the manufacture’s collections as well as that of other brands, such as the inevitable Cosmograph Daytona from Rolex, of which the first vibrations were powered by the El Primero.
