One watch that I’ve been wanting for a long time is a Zenith El Primero… not any specific one, just a larger 42mm+ watch with the high oscillating El Primero Movement. 36,000vph, highly accurate and beautiful, this movement was used in the Rolex Daytonas until the early 2000’s.
I’ve come across many Zeniths using this movement and still can’t decide on which one, though the Defy Classic Chrono Aero seems like it might be the ticket. Newly introduced at Baselworld 2007, this is probably my favourite of the Defy Classics, thought the Defy Extremes are very nice in my opinion.

That is a nice watch.. and I can’t stop thinking that I should buy one! With increased pressure to purchase a “Full Ling” (nickname for a larger Breitlings with a 46mm or larger diameter) Its tough to decide what I should buy next… maybe it should be indeed a Motors T as I’ve wanted one for a while. But the El Primero keeps calling my name!
