Its stunning blue dial features a sunburst finish, creating a lively play of light that changes with every angle. The indexes add a touch of modernity, while the stick hands provide clarity and precision. Crafted from robust stainless steel, the case ensures durability without compromising on style.

The El Primero Chronomaster 42 comes with a fabric strap that adds a casual yet sophisticated touch, making it perfect for both summer outings and winter adventures. Its water resistance rating of 100 m ensures it can withstand the elements, making it built for the adventurer in you. Whether you're caught in the rain or taking a dip in the pool, you can rest easy knowing your investment is well-protected.
