Inspired by one of Zenith’s most exciting releases in a long time, the Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Original Hodinkee Edition is arguably one of Hodinkee’s best collaborative timepieces. Launched in 2022 as a limited edition of just 300 pieces, this El Primero Chronomaster Original boasts a late 1960s aesthetic that is paired with modern horological engineering through Zenith’s intensely powerful cal. 3600 El Primero movement. Made of stainless steel and measuring a universally wearable 38mm in diameter, this stunning timepiece boasts a gorgeous salmon dial like those popularised in mid-century watchmaking, but with a grayscale subdial arrangement as an ode to Hodinkee’s signature grey colorscheme and the El Primero’s iconic use of three different colors for their chronograh subdials. A tidy timepiece that packs a heavy punch, this watch is the sort of reinterpretation that a horological icon like the Chronomaster Original deserves.

Watch is in near-mint condition showing light signs of use. Bracelet has been previously sized and the 4 links that were removed are included with the watch.

A wonderful fusion of a mid-century icon with modern styling and watchmaking prowess, the El Primero Chronomaster Original Hodinkee Edition is a beautiful example of what happens when heritage and contemporary horology come together.
