Full set
A Chronomaster with a stunning grey sunray dial, a large case, and the El Primero 400B automatic movement.
Overview
While the El Primero has mostly been made in its original 38mm size throughout the years, Zenith released a standard issue tri-color version in a larger, more contemporary 42mm case in 2013. Versions with a blue dial and a gray dial soon followed, each featuring a different take on the iconic tri-color design. These larger watches all featured a more spacious dial and a less controversial date window placed at 6 o’clock instead of the traditional 4:30 position. For those with larger wrists—and larger tastes—the 42mm Primero was a godsend and continues to be sought after, especially now that the size has been discontinued from Zenith’s catalog.
