Zenith's El Primero Powers another Limited Edition
 Zenith - one of the best known Swiss watchmakers, whose timepieces are regarded as mechanical wonders. One of the best known facts about Zenith is that its flagship movement El Primero, has become a legend by powering the most reliable watches in the world of horology.
Zenith has astonished once again the watch connoisseurs and the fans of Zenith watches by presenting a limited edition watch, also based on the El Primero concept - Chronomaster XXT Tourbillon. First of all, this timepiece stands out with its unusual design, as well as many Zenith watches do. After examining the design of the watch, people pay attention to the functions, which are impressive.
The functions include the normal hour, minute and seconds' hands, which are positioned in the center. There is also a tourbillon at 11 o'clock, where the carriage makes one turn per minute. There is also a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock. At 6 o'clock there is also a 12-hour counter. Another fact to mention about the dial of this timepiece is that all of its hour indexes are made of black gold.
The Zenith's watchmakers have found themselves a real challenge from the laws of dynamics to combine these two opposite functions - tourbillon and chronograph. They have separate destinations and in spite of this they were meant to function "shoulder to shoulder" in this mechanism.
Some say that the tourbillon is one of the most sophisticated complications to assemble, whereas the chronograph is more often met in wristwatches. The combination of these two functions in one case ends up forming a masterpiece watch.
 The El Primero movement is considered to be one of the most precise movements with a maximum deviation of one tenth of a second. This exceptional precision is provided by 36,000 vibrations per hour, which is almost exceptional for a chronograph movement.
This tourbillon-chronograph is powered by the brand new version of the El Primero movement, based on the caliber 4005C with 35 jewels, a rotor made of 22 karat gold. The new El Primero provides 50 hours of power reserve, which is quite impressive for a watch with these functions.
The 45 mm case is made of 18 karat white gold, thus making it an exclusive timepiece, produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces. Both sides of the case are equipped with a sapphire crystal, thus unveiling the movements of the parts to the wearer. The watch is also resistant to depths down to 30 meters.
With the Chronomaster XXT Tourbillon the technicians from Zenith have proven the world of horology that they are not afraid to accept any challenge and will carry out the given task until its accomplishment. The Chronomaster XXT Tourbillon will become an attractive item for their collection. The fact that there are only 50 pieces of these watches will only fire up the desire to possess one of these timepieces.
