Zenith Baselworld 2019 Watch Releases

Zenith 50th Anniversary Watch Set

Zenith Celebrates 50 Years of El Primero

Baselworld 2019 seems to be the year of anniversaries as we discover another brand who definitely has a reason to celebrate. Zenith releases their 50th Anniversary set of the El Primero. This set of three signature timepieces are back in a big, bad way and King Jewelers has the pleasure of reviewing each and every detail for you.

Zenith El Primero

The Original El Primero

As the first full-rotor high-beat chronograph to be released in 1969, the Zenith El Primero is the only timepiece of its generation that is still being remodeled 50 years later. This set comes in a box with a place for four watches. Although only three of the slots are filled, it poses the idea that one day there will be 1/1000th of a second El Primero mechanical chronograph.

Zenith A386El Primero A386 Revival

Physically, the El Primero A386 pays respectable homage to the original 1969 version. However, the major difference between the new release and the original is the use of sapphire crystal on the front and back of the case. In addition, this model is available in 18K white gold, 18K rose gold and 18K yellow gold. Featuring the most updated version of the original caliber 3019 PHC, also known as the El Primero 400, we admire a 50-hour power reserve. A white dial houses three smaller subdials and a date window between hours four and five. To illustrate, minutes rest at three o’clock, seconds at nine o’clock, and hours at six o’clock. This timepiece depicts a seamless blend of vintage and modern characteristics to cater to those in search of the best of both worlds.
 

Zenith 1/10th of a Second Chronograph

Chronomaster 21 El Primero 1/10th of a Second

The Chronomaster 21 El Primero utilizes caliber 3600 and takes on mild discrepancies from its Striking Tenths predecessor. The most recognizable difference would likely be the added ceramic bezel, creating easier elapsed time readability. A 1/10 of a second central hand stands out in red, contrasting the tri-colored, overlapping subdials in muted neutrals. We also admire a small date window at six o’clock, opposite of the Zenith El Primero logo at twelve. The 42mm white gold case rests on a black alligator leather strap with a pop of red in the stitching.

Zentih 1/100th of a Second Chronograph

Defy El Primero 21 1/100th of a Second

The last watch in this iconic collection of three timepieces is the Defy El Primero 21. The style of this timepiece stands out among its siblings, showcasing an open dial. El Primero enthusiasts find this modern aesthetic a bit controversial because it strays away from the classic look of the original. However, the tri-colored subdials seen in this model remain the staple characteristic of the El Primero family. The seconds hand makes one revolution around the dial every second which is mesmerizing to watch. A 44mm dial makes this timepiece the biggest of the three masterpieces but the titanium case keeps it from weighing down the wrist. The innovation and technology portrayed in this watch certainly lead us to believe that it serves as the frontrunner of this collection.

Zenith El Primero Defy

Zenith DEFY El Primero

Zenith, one of the most exclusive luxury watch brands in the industry, has once again outdone themselves with the Defy El Primero 21. This timepiece serves as a redefined edition of Zenith’s classic chronograph. The new and improved model has 36.000 beats per minute (or 5Hz) and can measure up to 1/100th of a second using the central second hand.
The Zenith Defy El Primero Blue has a distinctive openwork that bestows it with a unique allure. This industrial design is incomparable to others on the market. The detail is exceptionally intricate, highlighting the semi-skeleton face. Peeking through, we see the timepiece chronograph mechanics and timekeeping parts that maintain the contrast between the dial and the luminescent timekeeping hands. Furthermore, the brilliantly faceted hour marks on the face bestow this futuristic watch a pinch of elegance.
The blue iteration of this timepiece gives off an electric aesthetic and vibrant appeal. The caliber in this timepiece features two balance springs crafted from nanotubes twin chain architecture. Also, one escapement committed to the chronograph and one exclusively for timekeeping. With a 50-hour power reserve shown at 12 o’clock, we discover a small seconds hand at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. Not to mention, there’s a 60-second register at 6 o’clock as well. Thus, featuring a dome-shaped sapphire crystal and case back just add to the thrill of this dynamic timepiece.
All in all, you should visit King Jewelers in Miami, Florida, and Nashville, Tennessee to get your hands on the futuristic timepieces designed bt Zenith.

Collector’s Corner: The Zenith Pilot Ton-Up Embodies Rebellious Café Racer Spirit

This week’s featured hot, new watch release is the Pilot Ton-up from the historical Zenith watch manufacture. Initially previewed at Baselworld 2016, the Pilot Ton-up is inspired by the ‘Café Racer’ motorcycle movement that was born in England in the 1920s. These young and rebellious fans wanted a motorcycle that was both fast and customized, enabling them to ride from café to café on the British motorways.
The broad 45 mm-diameter aged steel case houses a legendary movement – the automatic El Primero 4069 chronograph calibre – and displays a vintage dial boasting perfect readability. Its virile charm and well-built mechanism infuse it with the “Café Racer” spirit: when speed and getting away from it all are synonymous with independence and authenticity.

Explore Our Extensive Zenith Collection, Available Now in Our Aventura Location!

Beneath the Ton-Up bodywork throbs a high-performance ‘engine’, the El Primero 4069 Automatic movement powers this masculine timepiece. The watch offers a power-reserve with a minimum of 50 hours and is finished with an oscillating weight with “Côtes de Genève” motif. The slate-grey toned dial with grained pattern has hands in black ruthenium, faceted and coated with SuperLuminova SLN GL beige to ensure excellent legibility. One of our favorite details on the Pilot Ton-Up is the unique watch strap with the green, oily nubuck leather strap with protective rubber lining and titanium pin buckle
Discover for yourself what makes the Zenith Pilot Ton-Up a watch unlike any other. King Jewelers is an authorized dealer of Zenith watches with an in-store boutique shop at our Miami, Florida showroom.

Breguet Celebrates Over 200 Years of Tourbillon Innovation

Breguet_Tourbillon_Banner

More than 200 years after it was patented, the tourbillon complication is still impressive

This month, Swiss watchmaker Breguet celebrated 214 years since Abraham Louis Breguet first received the patent for the toubillon. Although the patent has long since dissolved, Breguet is still considered the leader in creating this most impressive complication.
The tourbillon, long regarded as the pinnacle of watchmaking, was originally an attempt to improve accuracy in pocket watches. Today, tourbilllons are symbol of status and make any watch face visually stimulating.

Explore Our Selection of Breguet Timepieces Now!

Tourbillon is French for “whirlwind” and the moniker is, at least to the naked eye, very accurate. A tourbillon is basically a balance wheel that rotates in one direction. The idea here is that by continuously moving it will counter the effects of gravity, and thus keep time more accurately.  While modern advancements in watchmaking have revealed more cost effective and accurate means of improving a watch’s reliability, the tourbillon has endured as a worthy addition to any timepiece. Even if it is now mostly aesthetic, the tourbillon is still a beautiful and innovative complication.

See More Men’s Dress Watches Here!

The tourbillon complication is constantly being modified and improved upon by almost every major brand in the industry. Breguet’s current focus is on creating a tourbillon that is both extremely lightweight and durable. Zenith‘s latest creation, the Defy Xtreme Zero-G Tourbillon, features a free-moving tourbillon housing  which always points down, regardless of what crazy position your wrist may be in. Harry Winston has revealed the newest member of the Histoire de Tourbillon family, the Histoire de Tourbillon 6, which features a prominent, fast-moving, triple-axis tourbillon along with a power reserve indicator and chronograph function. Both TAG Heuer and Raymond Weil have plans to release their own budget-friendly tourbillon-clad timepieces later this year.
All in all, more than 200 years after it was made, it’s clear this complication isn’t going anywhere. Regardless of it’s actual functionality, the tourbillon is both visually appealing and innovative; if nothing else, it is a great conversation piece for true watch aficionados.

One of Favorite Brands Debuts Two Exciting New Models at Baselworld 2015

Many members of the King family have recently traveled to Basel, Switzerland to preview all of the new, highly anticipated 2015 Swiss timepieces at Baselworld. Only one day into the trip, and the Kings have already seen some fantastic new timepieces from the most prestigious brands in the industry.
Zenith is arguably a personal favorite brand of King Jewelers CFO Jono King, who says “I’m a big fan of Zenith; their pilot collection is a great entry point for aspiring watch collectors. The El Primero Stratos Striking 10 has always been my favorite recommendation to first time shoppers. Zenith timepieces have a nice blend of style and functionality that many of our customers are drawn to.”
Zenith showed off two new models in four different variations at Basel this year- the El Primero Sport (available on rubber strap, steel bracelet, or leather strap) and the Elite 6150 model.
