Zenith El Primero Rainbow Flyback
More actions
The Zenith El Primero Rainbow Flyback (ref. 02.0480.405) began as a military chronograph: in the mid-1990s the French Air Force commissioned Zenith to supply 1,000 fighter-pilot chronographs a year, and Zenith had already delivered six watches when a change of government canceled the contract. Zenith reworked the design for civilian sale and presented the 40 x 12.6mm steel chronograph at Baselworld 1997, running the automatic El Primero Caliber 405 with a flyback function and a distinctive minute-counter subdial in aeronautical sector colors with red accents. The "Rainbow" name predates the watch, borrowed from Zenith's waterproof sports chronograph line since 1992, but the colorful subdial gave it a second, literal meaning here. (Fratello)
