Nikhil D Rao well, in theory, that would help the watch run extremely precise. We may or may not need it. Moreover, it is also about a statement from Zenith or owners of this watch: “we can do it.”

Without you my eyes probably would have never been opened about how much more there is to watches than just the usual Rolex.

This is one of the annoyances I have with some of the Rolex heavy collections you see online. Particularly Hodinkee. After you've bought 3 or more Rolexes it's all a bit boring. You need a Submariner, a Datejust & a Daytona. After that, there are so many other brands to explore. Like why not buy a JLC or a Zenith? IWC? Grand Seiko? Glashutte? Girard Perragaux? Blancpain? Even some of the more controversial creations of Ulysee Nardin? And then there's always the top 3 & Lange. Variety is important and just slavishly buying Rolex after Rolex seems boring to me. It's like that person doesn't really get watches but they know Rolexes are good so hey let's buy lots of them. I have the same issue with jewelled bezels & all that bling crap.

Greatest video out from you guys yet.

I so enjoy playing your videos on full screen. Spellbound by all those magnificent close up shots. Pure video magic. The Zenith looks well cool too!

Love Zenith and love this video. Great job guys. Was wondering when you'd do a Zenith only episode - I felt like there were hints you were going to do it when you talked about the silicon movement and why it was good, but if I recall you ignored even mentioning Zenith and instead just showed the movement! I was blown away by the El Primero 21 movement and your guys high quality zoomed in footage of this amazing watch great. You really did this skeleton watch justice by showing all the detailed inner workings of it!

Another great, interesting and informative video. You guys have seriously changed the game in terms of horological videos on KZread. I'm always excited to see what you'll cover next!

Love all your videos..! the passion with which you describe a watch makes me fall in love with it..!

I love your videos. I get a sense of something magical when seeing the videos you make.

Incredible timepiece and your best video so far... good job!!!

I always enjoy the quality of your videos - your style of narrating is really unique and it shows your enthusiasm. It is contagious! Oh, nice watch!!! ;)

Thank you for another great video and another chance to learn about the watches I love so much.

Superbly narrated. Wonderful camera angles & close-ups.

my mind was blown so hard with this one

Although I enjoy the El Primero movement in my Type 20 Zenith Pilot watch, this is just awesome and really shows again what a truly great manufacture Zenith is, I have now added this watch to my shopping list! Thanks for the steer!

I've never came across this piece until this video but now that I have I must say it's a very interesting piece

Stunning watch, incredible performance! Brilliant video as usual!

Amazing piece !!

The new skeleton Zenith El Primero is very beautiful and probably the best chronograph in the market. I like the fact that the Zenith el Primero has two movements, one for the hour, minute and date and the other for the chronograph. I like the El Primero beautiful skeleton dial, I like the display case back that show the star rotor and the colorful silicon gears. the El Primero bracelet is also beautiful. The Zenith El Primero is a nice piece of craftsmanship and mechanical technology.

I’d like to hold it up to my ear and listen to that insane mechanism

It amazes me how much cool stuff there really is out there. Killer watches and as always killer video!

That rotor is badass! And the Chrono is just....... My God is it beautiful

Wow, that's a great video. I really enjoyed it and for sure would buy the zenith el primero 21 over a Daytona now that I know this. Thank you so much for the videos and keep it up, I really appreciate your work.

Zenith is one of my favorite watchmakers, and the Striking 10th is my favorite watch ever. So beautiful!

Outstanding chronograph. Many thanks for this nice video.

It's amazing how your incredible macro photography brings out the shocking amount of debris/dirt inside these watches. I've never seen it with the naked eye but surely that's not good for the workings. The Zenith is a classic. Underrated for sure, but lacking in aesthetics to command the big bucks.

I am always impressed with your video review results...What camera do you used?

I absolutely love this watch. Exclusive in house movement with silicon escapement, incredible engineering for a very cool complication, top quality finishing of the case and bracelet (done in titanium) all for an incredible price of a hair over $10,000 brand new! The amount of watch you get relative to the price is unmatched anywhere else.

Impressive bit with the dual movements! 👍🏼

I never stop learning something new watching your videos, thanks guys.

Fabulous contextualization and presentation of Zenith, the watch and its provenance.

I'm a fan of the El Primero...​ but anyone else notice the nicks and specks of dust on the hands and dials of this specific one?

I agree it’s a quality price of kit! Great vids !

Absolutely fascinating time piece

Quality video as always 👌

Appreciate the flexibility that the watch giant gives to this channel. Not only to its own brands but also appreciate the work done by competitors. This is the spirit of True Horology. Well done guys.

Still cannot believe that movement. At the absolute cutting edge. Thank you Zenith and thank you Watchfinder.

50Hz in a mechanical form is surely the limit. I’d imagine the service frequency is just as staggering as will be the cost. The hyper macro shots show imperfections in the finishing but this is a volume manufacture piece hence the high price isn’t astronomical. But it’s very cool and such a handsome piece. Well done Zenith, top of class.

Beautiful video

The video nicely covers up how incredibly loud the chrono function is. But still amazed by the movement.

Would love a video and your thoughts on the zenith chronomaster sport.

My jaw dropped when all hell started breaking loose with that second chronograph movement

Great videos. Will be good to have some videos with ephemeris per year, I know the Tag Carrera was launched in 1963 but finding this information brand/ watch is very hard unless is Rolex. Just an idea. Thanks!

What a great story, good luck to Zenith, it is one hell of a piece of micro engineering.

Amazing. Thanks Watchfinder.

I don't know why it's in my recommended, but a great video it is!

At first I thought ,ok, just another Zenith video‘ but then...WTF!!! That deserves genuine respect

I can feel the pain in your voice knowing that real hero never got the fame it deserved 😢

Nice to see WF back to business after the Milgauss fiasco

I bought the Defy 21. Love it. This week I bought the 96.0525.4000 m21 and super excited about both. I feel more soul in the Zenith, than my Rolex which has been pushed to the back.

Very nice indeed. Well done Zenith !

I never thought I’d look at a Zenith, but this watch is rapidly climbing up my list!

Now, I want el primero in my colection, thanks !!! 👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏽, hello from Peru 🇵🇪

Finally I've found something to suggest as an improvement for one of your videos. Here is what I would change, do the exact same video, but starting with a normal el primero, then add the striking 10th and explain the difference to the original, and then finally add the 1/100th(defy) and explain the difference to the other 2.

How do you get that camera angle and the camera to focus on the watch?

Just checked Watchfinder and the only Seikos in stock are Grand Seikos at 3k+. Not surprising perhaps that the real first automatic chronograph on people’s wrists, the 6139, doesn’t even get a mention. Not Swiss. How ghastly!

i gonna get one in two month, cant wait such a great piece of art and engeneering

Gotta agree with the below. For me this is your best video to date.

That watch is just, it's crazy. It's just insane. Wow, I want one.

Hello, have you considered doing a video on currently available type 20 chronographs such as the Breguet, Dodane and Auricoste? There is very little on them and nothing on Auricoste in English.

I've always really really really wanted one of these.

Hello and thanks for this gorgeous video. Stupid question: how does one read this skeletonize version of the small seconds at 9 o’clock? Is the small seconds functional or just for show? Thank you in advance!

Beautiful looking watch.. I like it's industrial titanium colored design. Awesome...

No one buys a Rolex because the technical superiority or unique design. The magic of Rolex is the brand and how well it keeps its value.

Great video on a great brand! I would only say, if Zenith can make modern renditions of the A3818 or A385 on these Defy cases (I.e NON-Biver dials).....They will propel the brand immensely.....The classic design language/layout and colours to cement the brands image... Cant wait for the Defy Lab movements to be mainstream come Baselworld, will be great to see you review that! Ta

Brilliantly described. Pity Zenith still is such an underrated brand. I wonder if they’d be better off (and richer) if they just switch to selling movements and spawn a thousand brands.

After this video, I might want to be a Zenith collector.... Very beautiful video. Thank you
