A Review of the Vintage Titanium Anniversary of Zenith

Founded in 1865, the Zenith has a reputation for its bold originality of combining the precision of mechanical watch with aesthetic feelings.

The Vintage Titanium Anniversary is the limited edition of Zenith which is to commemorate the 40th anniversary of El Primero clock mechanism. This Vintage Titanium Anniversary of Zenith is a highly precise watch with complicated design. It is a piece for personal collection.

In 1969, Zenith developed the El Primero clock mechanism named El Primero 469. This name is to commemorate the gorgeous year 1969 when the mechanism is developed. Made of 278 units and 31 rubines, El Primero is a self-winding mechanism. It is now mostly applied in the automatic chronometer watches. This mechanism has written a brand new page for the watch manufacturing industry. Forty years later, now the Zenith is launching Vintage Titanium Anniversary series to mark the 40th birthday of El Primero.

Driven by El Primero clock mechanism, this Vintage Titanium Anniversary features a black outlook with white strip and Arabic markings. The watch case is measured as 40 mm, a medium size watch for men. The dial design is complicated with three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock position, indicating the hour, minute and second in a more detailed way. The hour and minute pointers are black collocating with white while the second pointer is sharp red which forms a sharp contrast in the dial. As a chronograph, its markings show the precision of the watch. At 4, there is a showcase for the date indicator. This design of this Vintage Titanium Anniversary is mostly inspired by original concept of the clock mechanism. The limited edition is definitely worthy of person collection and many watch collectors have stored one.
