VIDEO: Watch our epic video about the new Zenith Chronomaster Manufacture Edition, which includes an invitation from CEO

Andrew McUtchen

We have had some moments over the six plus year journey of Time+Tide, and this is certainly one of them. We have been asked by Zenith, one of the great manufactures, to help them launch this – the FINAL El Primero Special Edition in the 50th Anniversary year – the Chronomaster Manufacture Edition. Above is the edited video that does it. There is also a pretty epic feature length video that you can find on our YouTube channel. We’ll be talking a little more about this one over the coming days. But put it this way, we have a fair amount of time covered if you’re struggling for lockdown viewing as a watch lover.

It features exclusive interviews about the new watch, and also includes Wei Koh from Revolution talking about the recent Revolution Limited Edition ‘Cover Girl’ A3818 Revival. Last, but certainly not least, because this feature length video is largely focused on the movement powering this, and many other Zenith models, we have watchmaker Michael Woods explaining what makes the El Primero tick.

The watch is a 38mm Chronomaster, featuring a new configuration of blue subdials that was discovered in the attic of Charles Vermot. It is powered by a modern iteration of the high-precision automatic chronograph from 1969 that changed the world. You’ll have to watch to learn more! The important detail is that, for now, it is available online for purchase. If Zenith does not have ecommerce in your region, feel free to reserve your piece by emailing [email protected]

Watch & Chill is a new format of video content, developed by the Time+Tide Watches team for these strange times. Watch & Chill episodes are longer, more detailed, and – we hope – more fun. They are for couches, for binging, for lockdown and for viewers with more time on their hands than usual. We hope you enjoy this new style of show, and welcome your feedback at [email protected]
