Zenith DEFY El Primero 21
More actions
The Zenith DEFY El Primero 21 modernizes Zenith's 1969 El Primero architecture into a 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph: the automatic caliber 9004 runs two separate gear trains at different frequencies, the time train at a conventional 5 Hz and a dedicated chronograph train at 50 Hz, so the central chronograph seconds hand completes one full rotation per second. Zenith cases the line openworked, exposing both escapements and the twin mainspring barrels, in steel, titanium, ceramic, and 18-karat rose gold; the rose-gold execution runs on a matching bracelet or an alligator strap. (Zenith) A Sina Fashion release crediting Zenith's own placement office names this exact reference, 18.9000.9004/71.R585, at a domestic price of ¥199,000, as one of two Zenith watches Jin Dong wears as senior partner Luo Bin in The Best Partner, alongside a rose-gold Chronomaster Open; the Zhihu blogger 八卦兔 independently identifies the same watch as a second, distinct Zenith piece on the character.
