New Arrival -Zenith Lightweight Carbon El Primero

Post by cpd c63 » Thu Mar 17, 2016 11:33 pm

I LOVE THIS WATCH! It is super light...carbon case (work of art) and a beautiful, detailed skeletonized/layered dial and unique date cutout. The movement is made of titanium/aluminum. And I mounted it on a great, custom alcantara nato strap (only one in the world as far as I know)

Congrats, that's just sexy! Is this the LE of 100 with a $22k retail price, and a purple chronograph wheel visible through the displayback ? How much does the watchhead weigh?

I think retail was a bit lower..a mere $19.Xk haha...this is a limited edition model (250 made), but doesn't have the purple chrono wheel (that was a limited, limited edition apparently).

The watch head is super light...but still doesn't feel cheap somehow. I literally could stare at the dial for an hour...it is incredibly intricate and changes with every minute change in angle and lighting.

Looks very interesting -- not my style but a well-done piece for sure.

On an unrelated note, do you trim your arm hair Ameet? :gayumbrella:

Man that's an awesome watch. Just one more reason why Zenith is one of my favorite watch companies. Love the silicon parts in the movement too, they make the movement look even more cool.

Congrats again, I watched the Watchuwant video and the watch is killer indeed. Surprisingly legible too. I love lightweight watches.
