About this watch

The Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Open Stainless Steel / Blue 1969 / Rubber is a masterpiece of horology that combines stunning design, intricate mechanics, and exceptional accuracy. The blue sunburst finish on the dial catches the light beautifully, creating a dynamic effect that shifts as you move.
