Zenith Chronomaster Venice

I’ve always loved Zenith watches, and their Chronomaster series looks fanastic, though the Defy series is where my heart lies. Zenith released a new model a week or so ago with some amazing looking visuals!

Utilizing the venerable El Primero movement, this new Venice Edition of the Zenith Chronomaster is outstanding. It uses the Caliber 4021 from Zenith, which beats as an extremely accurate 36,000vph.

Visible throught the sapphire caseback is the 22 karat gold oscillating weight mounted on the rotor. The dial is Guilloche with a Venice Lion patters on both the dial and over the open heart. The watch is an extremely large 45mm in diamater, enough for even the most manly man! Water resistant to 30 meters. This watch is limited to 100 peices and is available in Rose Gold.

Zenith El Primero Movement

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!
