The dial is pure El Primero but when compared against many of it’s siblings, the hands and markers appear to have been enlarged. I really like the look of the slate dial on the rubber strap (below), it gives the Zenith El Primero Sport a bit of a motorsport vibe that works really well with the red seconds hand. With a maximum measure of 12 hours and a resolution of 1/10th of a second, the 400 B is no slouch, and it finds a natural fit in a watch like the Zenith El Primero Sport.īeyond the choice of dial color, Zenith has also optioned three different mounts for the Zenith El Primero Sport, including a brown alligator strap, a metal bracelet with a triple folding clasp, and a rubber strap. Being an El Primero, the Zenith El Primero Sport rocks Zenith’s 5Hz El Primero 400 B automatic integrated column wheel movement.

Sticker Price $11,000 USD on strap and $11,600 USD on stainless steel bracelet. After reviewing this novelty we like the leather strap version much more than the bracelet, however, it could be a good idea to get the bracelet version and then add the additional straps for versatility. For the money, you get a lot of watch and one of the best chronographs ever created. On the wrist, the new Zenith El Primero Sport wears true to its size and with a more impressive wrist presence when compared to its smaller case predecessors. Combining high frequency with a remarkable more than 50-hour power reserve, the El Primero 400B movement drives central hours and minutes hands, small seconds at 9 o’clock, along with chronograph functions and a 6 o’clock date display.
This classic chronograph movement ably perpetuates its essential assets, including its integrated column-wheel construction as well as its rate of 36,000 vph guaranteeing 1/10 th of a second precision.
