Zenith El Primero Chronograph Black Dial 30.0500.400
It doesn’t get any better than this for a neo-vintage chronograph. Equipped with the legendary El-Primero chronograph movement, this elegant piece demonstrated what Zenith was capable of in the 1990s. at 40mm it features a rather modern sizing and somewhat a touch sporty design due to the more angular bezel on its classic yellow gold case.
The glossy black dial elevates the watch and contrastingly breaks up the gold case to give it a slightly more relaxed look compared to its other dial variations.

Our Thoughts:
Zenith chronograph movements played an important part in the history of watchmaking, and although some of their own watches are not as popular as their counterparts such as the Rolex Daytona, there is no doubt in the quality of these 1990s Zenith El Primero chronographs. This example here is the rarer version with a black dial which love the fact that it can be dressed down compared to the silver dials and the tone on tone dials.
