New Arrival -Zenith Lightweight Carbon El Primero
New Arrival -Zenith Lightweight Carbon El Primero
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?

Better than Basel 2016.
Watch collector since 1989
Re: New Arrival -Zenith Lightweight Carbon El Primero
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).blowfish89 wrote:Congrats, that's just sexy!

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.

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.
Re: New Arrival -Zenith Lightweight Carbon El Primero
Wow. That some exotic shit right there!
I bet that will add 100 hp to the car you drive just by wearing it.
