The El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tour Auto Edition with “open” dial features a tachymetric scale and two chronograph counters. The watch has a sapphire casebook with the logo on it. Add to that, the automatic El Primero 4061 chronograph movement is equipped with a lever and escape wheel made of high-tech silicon, making it more resistant to wear and anti-magnetic. To begin with, the new calibers are COSC-certified chronometers. The new El Primero calibers for the Open watches (with a dial aperture at 11:00 to view a portion of the movement), and the tourbillons have a few new additions that offer sure-fire precision. Zenith, however, like most top watch brands, does not rest on laurels and, instead, continues to strive for excellence – always evolving. This high frequency ensures tenth-of-a-second precision. At the time the movement presented two world firsts: an integrated automatic chronograph (instead of a caliber with a chronograph module added on to it) the first watch to beat at 36,000 vibrations per hour. The watch houses the famed El Primero caliber – which was unveiled to the world in 1969 after seven years of research and development. To celebrate both its own 150 th anniversary and its affiliation with Tour Auto Optic 2000 and its classic cars, Zenith has created the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tour Auto Edition. The set of races hits some of the most beautiful, challenging, and famous racetracks known to race fans. For this year’s Tour, approximately 300 classic cars (1951-1973) will be reliving their heritage and reviving fond memories as they traverse the countryside of France. The Tour Auto Optic 2ooo is a set of five races organized by Peter Auto in 1992 for the first time. Now, in honor of its 150 th anniversary, the brand has – for the second year in a row - become the Official Timekeeper for the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo – adding classic car racing to its already full repertoire. Most recently Zenith has even partnered with Spindrift professional race sailing team. In recent years, the brand has delved into sea, land and air – even all the way to the heights of the stratosphere (on the wrist of adventurer Felix Baumgartner as he performed a free-fall jump from the stratosphere to break the sound barrier). That is what Zenith has been doing – time and again – in its watchmaking efforts: pushing is limits and creating timepieces of exception that cross may realms.ĭuring its 150 years, Zenith has produced watches for exploration and adventure. In some aspects it’s racing a car at full tilt, pushing your skills to the absolute limit, or taking all your creative skills, and building a masterpiece of innovation. The concept of “Pushing the limits” applies to many different things. Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tour Auto watch
