Zenith El Primero Range Rover watches unveiled

The year 1969 saw the creation of two of the most important landmarks in the parallel worlds of car design and watch making: Range Rover and Zenith.  These two milestones of engineering have now come together in a partnership that celebrates their mutual longevity and shared values in a special edition watch called Zenith El Primero Range Rover, which was first revealed at the unveiling of the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic in Paris.

Each Zenith El Primero Range Rover will feature a 42mm case made from ceramised aluminum, and like the aluminum architecture of the Range Rover, combines light weight with extreme durability.

The minimalist aesthetic of the dashboard controls of the Range Rover are similarly espoused in the clean appearance of the watch, which features a brushed, slate grey dial, three subtle but highly legible chronograph subdials and a robust winding crown paired with easy-to-operate push-pieces. Turning the watch over, meanwhile, reveals the Zenith and Range Rover names engraved discreetly on both the oscillating weight and the retaining ring for the transparent case back.
