Zenith and Bamford Watch Department Launch First Boutique Limited Edition ” Chronomaster El Primero Raider

Here’s a detail to look out for! Three subdials, each with a different chronograph design, alluding to the stars

Many details of the ” Chronomaster El Primero Raider ” have been carefully considered. One of the most notable details is the chronograph’s three subdials, each with a different design. The concentric circle design of the small seconds display on the left has the feel of the vintage Zenith watches favored by Georges Bamford, the totalizer at 6 o’clock is a traditional Chronomaster design, the counter at 3 o’clock is a traditional Zenith design, and the small seconds display at 5 o’clock is a Zenith design. And the counter at 3 o’clock is accented in bold red, with a striking ” night vision ” effect that glows in the dark thanks to the Super-LumiNova finish.

Georges Bamford explains this detail, “The thin line inside the subdial represents the negative of the star. Something the star has lost. The star sits in the center of it. I feel a strong inspiration there.” He said. At the same time, it could be taken to suggest that this subdial is the star of Zenith.

The new design code is a detail to look out for, and more!

The Zenith chronograph signature has been combined in a new way in this new model. The new design of the El Primero’s tri-compax dial with oversized counters is fresh with its gradient dark brown color. This is sharply contrasted with the radial design of the white tachymeter scale, which is found on many historical El Primero watches. The stainless steel case is entirely matte-finished, including the crown and pushers. In this way, the ” Chronomaster El Primero Raider ” has introduced a new design code while preserving the essential elements.
