KEY FACTS

• Introduced in 1969, the Zenith El Primero was the world’s first high-frequency chronograph movement, and debuted in the Swiss brand’s iconic reference A384
• The El Primero movement is highly-regarded in the watch world and considered one of the finest serially produced chronographs on the market
