One of the more unusual El Primeros we’ve come across.
The Chronomaster Triple Calendar is already an interesting ex*****on of Zenith’s iconic high-beat chronograph — combining the El Primero calibre 410 with chronograph, day, date, month and moonphase indications in a compact 37mm case.
But this particular example is something considerably less ordinary.
Finished with a Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial, the surface shifts dramatically between charcoal, silver, blue and purple depending on the light, giving the watch an almost liquid quality. The applied Roman numerals and blackened hands complement the shell beautifully, while the applied calendar apertures and three recessed registers give the dial an incredible amount of depth.
This reference is most commonly encountered with a much lighter mother-of-pearl dial. This black Tahitian MOP configuration is considerably rarer — in our search, we’ve only encountered a few others with this particular dial ex*****on.
At 37mm, it also wears very differently from the larger modern El Primeros: compact, elegant and distinctly of its era, while retaining the technical appeal of Zenith’s legendary El Primero architecture.
A particularly special combination of high-beat chronograph, full calendar, moonphase and exotic natural dial — and one for the collector who appreciates the less obvious corners of Zenith’s catalogue.
