Good move, Zenith is going in the right direction and it's good to see a bit more recognition again for this great brand. Thank you Teddy!

I had almost chosen the Speedmaster 57 40.5 as a milestone birthday present, but I always thought the Chronomaster 38 was a more interesting and better fitting watch, at least for me. Years ago I almost pulled the trigger on the original for a price that today's newer collectors would not believe, and have regretted not doing it ever since. The Chronometer 38 should arrive in a week or so!

@@ali-tal Now that I’ve had it for a little while, I can say that it is impeccably finished and keeps virtually perfect time. The bracelet is very comfortable, and the watch sits in the wrist very comfortably. I finally tried on the Speedmaster 57, which doesn’t fit quite as nicely as the Zenith as the lugs are longer. The Chronomaster, but for the name, is for anyone not obsessed with the ‘prestige’ of the Rolex Daytona (which I have owned), equal in overall quality. Both have distinctive but different looks. My opinion is that Rolex has a slightly better bracelet and Zenith has a superior movement.

Zenith fills the gap between Tudor and Rolex in what way exactly? Price? Not really. Quality? Subjective, but probably not in all models anyway. Your idea rests on the assumptions that Zenith is strictly and completely better and/or more expensive than Tudor and strictly and completely worse and/or cheaper than Rolex. The first assumption is arguably true, the second one is just not accurate nor correct

Good morning

As good (and fun) as the Hodinkee review of this timepiece was, I think Teddy did a better, more complete, and more relatable-to-his-viewers presentation of this iconic and timeless chronograph. Now, time to start saving so I can pick on of these up in 5-10 years 😂

Great review of an iconic watch. The heritage the brand the movement all in such a beautiful watch. Well done Teddy.

The value of a sub-13mm chronograph cannot be overstated.

Thanks for the review Teddy, this may be the 1st Zenith to leap onto my watch 'watch list'.

Simply stunning. Perfect size. Beautiful movement. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for turning me on to it.

I have a Zenith el Primero 2 tone that I absolutely love. The quality is way way above Breitling/Tudor/etc. The pusher functions are buttery smooth compared to most clunking pushers on other brands. I have other watches including Rolexes that are wonderful but this watch is perfect. The details are amazing including the little indent under the crown for easy access to set the watch. Little things like that are very rare. Thank you Teddy for a wonderful review. Keep up the good content!

I would not issue a blanket statement like that. I love Zenith but it’s not just “better” than a Breitling Navitiner. Why the comparison.

Thank you for this comprehensive review. I am definitely getting this beautiful timepiece for my small wrist. Cheers!

Obsessed with this watch; cannot wait to own one. Great video, Teddy!

Love this 38mm Chronomaster OG, I was so happy when it launched and I had the opportunity to shoot a video on it too. But man your video blows mine out the water 🔥🔥🔥 I too hope to own this in the future 😉

The El primero is such a amazing watch. When I read the story about Charles Vermot hiding the tools and plans to the El primero movement. I bought 1 ASAP what a awesome story to have attached to the watch the man is a HERO. My favorite Zenith is the pilot Flyback and the Shadow El primero

I own the Manufactre Edition. I was already sold on the brand but what got me was the three different shades of blue for the sub dials. Pictures just don’t do it justice, looks amazing. My only concern was the size as my other watches are between 40 and 42, but I was pleasantly surprised after getting it that it wore so well. It is a solid piece and I have enjoyed it immensely. You can’t go wrong with the El Premiro!

This is a work of art. Teddy good review!

The intro was pure class Teddy!

This is a fabulous piece and a really want one. THIS is what Zenith DOES!

Zenith hit this revival series 1/10 Chrono out of the park. Chrono dial design and colorways are outstanding. Case size maybe could of been a little larger but i'll wait till i see one in person. Excellent review!

Stunning piece and another great video 👏

Amazing review and spectacular timepiece. I love the date at 4.30 on my Zenith!

Ouuu LOVED this review Teddy! 😱 such a fantastic watch! I want it even more now 🙈

That was just the right mixture of talk, facts and close-ups. I really dig your videos although i can't afford any of these pieces. Still great to look at though. 👍

This is definitely on my radar! Might be my next purchase.

I'm 50 this year, it's almost at the top of my "gift to myself" list.

Love your videos man!

Thank you for this great video. The El Primero is at the top of my wish list for a chronograph to add to my collection someday. The piece is absolutely gorgeous. I have large wrists, so the 42mm version is a better fit for me. Still, to be able to pack that much into a 38mm case that is 13mm thick is very impressive.

I know it might sound funny but I deal with that with my Speedmaster by sticking a piece of cut out tape on the case back. First it protects the back and second it creates a tension with your skin to stop the watch moving around.

You may be very pleasantly surprised by the 38 mm EP. The 42 is a giant. I can usually rock everything from 37-44 mm and I find that the 38 EP is the sweetspot

One of my grail watches, undoubtedly. Maybe one day. Awesome video, Teddy.

When i make big money I'm going to buy this one

Amazing vid, Teddy!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love your show. Just tried this at my local AD today, and it’s now definitely my grail watch. Finally, I have found a better alternative to the Speedmaster, which «everybody» has!

Loving this video format. I would love to listen to other “flagship” watches.

Zenith is one of my favorite watch makers. the chronomaster sport is my grail watch

Zenith is producing some beautiful watches.

Some day I want to have a Zenith in my collection too! Probably a Defy though, love that design!

I enjoy your displayed passion of this Zenith ~ JDS/CT

Terrific production Teddy and I like that you are using a watch with some battle scars that show up under the macro.

Early today. Nice. And you're covering one of my favs. Double Nice.

Very nicely presented.I think it is important to try it on. For me the classic Chronomaster was too much a dress watch for me, but I was lucky to get his sporty brother....

This is one of my Grail watches.... I think it's incredibly original and super-stylish without being over-the-top. The different colored sub-dials is a gorgeous style choice.

what a beuatiful watch. oozes class!!!!!!!!!! and to me a 70's feeling.

This might be bumped up the list to my next watch over a Reverso.

Awesome review! My top grail watch !

*Thumbnail's dope man!!* ⚡️

Absolutely beautiful, but I prefer the 41mm version. Looking to add to my collection and great review Sir!

Simply gorgeous!

I'd love to know if the water resistance is the new ISO rating, or the pre-2010 one. That would mean the new one, with its lower WR is still a watch that can be worn in most situations.

If I had 10 grand ear marked for a watch purchase, Zenith would be getting my money.

Now, this has all I want in a watch.

I too luv the piece but bought the black dial. Nice review Teddy

This was discontinued for a couple of years. Glad to see it back!

What a astonishing watch

Hopefully they make a 40mm variant of this model

Stunning watch

My Grail Timepeice!

Beautiful piece! I'd really like to see one in person to see if it's too small for me.

This is my grail chronograph at the moment for the vintage sheen and sheer novelty of it. I'm gonna have to stick with my trusty little Seagull 1963 for now while I save, and hope I don't give up the ghost and get a Speedmaster reduced in the meantime.

I own the Manufacture Edition and I think the watch tends to sit up high on my wrist. I think this has to do with the lug placement, which Teddy touches on in this video. The result is the watch tends to slide around my wrist. Not a deal breaker but a minor inconvenience. Otherwise, the El Primero is the best.

@merkhet9328

I owned the prior generation 38m El Primero and had exactly the same issue. It seemed like the ratios were just a little off and the watch was too tall for its width. Sound like this version is a bit thinner so maybe they acted on that feedback.

Lovely watch just exudes class .

I would like to see this one side by side with the Chronomaster Sport. I need to know which one to add to my want-but-cannot-afford list.

This one is starting to grown on me. Not usually a fan of the pump pusher aesthetic but the total package of the El Primero is on another level. One question, was the chronograph second hand moving faster than the second hand sub dial? I could just be crazy but it looked like it was moving almost 1.5x faster

@Wootguy238

Жыл бұрын

Late reply, but yes. The center chronograph seconds makes one rotation every 10 seconds to measure 1/10 of a second, while the runner seconds and other chrono seconds are the normal 60-second subdials

It's one of the most beautiful watches I saw all of this year. and like you say, for the real watch aficionados who aren't running with the pack. I do love the reverse panda as much or more...I will say this; I kinda prefer these on the leather option. Anyone else feel that way?

Great vid, Ted. Between Speedmaster 321 vs El primero OG, not considering the price, just purely about watch, which one would you choose?

Teddy great video as always, but maybe drop the lord of the rings intro music next time 😂

Coming close to perfection with this piece. I just think that the case shap is more fitted for bigger wrist. It might not be on purpose. I think they just keep the vintage design. And then it looks kind of odd with that shape on a small wrist. Just IMHO. Still the Zenith El Primero ! 🤩💯👍🔥🔥🔥

Thanks, Teddy. Fabulous watch. My El Primero is one of my most prized possessions. If I could ever justify the expense of another one, this would be it.

im convinced

Watch market under 12k is crazy (not much available). Recently I ended up having to choose from a 38 zenith on bracelet, pink Grand Seiko, green dial Omega Aqua master. Ended up with the Seiko. The Zenith 38 is one of my favorites and it has been tough to find. This one looks incredible.

Be advised that Teddy sells Zenith watches in his online store. As such, he has a financial interest in giving Zenith a positive review; otherwise, who would buy the watch from him after reading a negative review. Teddy, you might want to post a disclaimer at the beginning of any review of a watch or watches that you sell.

How do you think a 38mm with look/fit on my 7.3 to 7.5 wrist? Too small or just right? I don’t want it to be too small but certainly not too big with the larger iteration. Thoughts?
