Overview
In the summer of 2022, Zenith collaborated with watch media powerhouse Hodinkee to produce a stunning 300-piece limited edition of the El Primero. Using the popular Chronomaster Original line as its foundation, the new Hodinkee Edition came fitted with a matte opaline salmon dial with grey accents—a nod to the brand’s usage of that color across several of its limited edition collaborations. Even the date window at 4:30, which is a standard feature of the El Primero, was thoughtfully given the same salmon color treatment, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into the design. Never before has an El Primero been equipped with such a dial, and the result may just be the most beautiful watch Zenith has produced since the original A386 in 1969.
