However, after an hour of wrist time and a month of withdrawals, I felt compelled to circle back and share with you some thoughts about what may have been my favorite new non-SIHH piece from my week in Switzerland, as well as provide you with some exclusive hands-on images. Also, in October of 2013 we discussed another similar limited edition Zenith model to contain the 410 movement here. Yes, we’ve already covered this timepiece– wrote up a great piece on the El Primero 410 back in January 2014 recapping the announcement from Zenith and giving you a look at the first official images.

If you’re starting to experience Dejá Vu at the mention of the 410 name, relax.

Still, it isn’t very often that a modern piece (even one with vintage inspiration) completely takes my breath away– but that is exactly what happened last month when the new El Primero 410 Triple Calendar was presented to me at the Zenith hospitality suite in Geneva. As a die-hard vintage watch fan, I am particularly fond of these lines, and there are a number of beautiful pieces to love from the Captain, Heritage, and Pilot’s collections. Best known for their 1969 El Primero (one of the world’s first automatic chronographs), Zenith has been getting a lot of attention in recent years for their exceptional high-beat chronograph collection as well as their partnership with daredevil high altitude skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who recently set the record for the highest skydive ever performed.Īs a manufacture, Zenith does a fantastic job of balancing a fresh modern collection with selection of historically inspired timepieces, for which they have also received accolades. One of the brands we met with was Zenith, the storied manufacture from Le Locle. After the close of SIHH 2014 last month, Team ABTW stayed on in Switzerland to meet with a few other local brands exhibiting their new collections.
