Movement Based on Zenith's Masterpiece El Primero
This new chronograph is equipped with a flyback mechanism, allowing for immediate new measurements by pressing the reset button even during chronograph operation. Drawing inspiration from vintage stopwatch designs, this "Carrera Calibre 36 Chronograph Flyback" features an unprecedented style with a double-scale dial on the outer ring displaying the 60-second scale of the stopwatch, and a two-subdial layout.
The "Calibre 36" movement powering this watch is based on Zenith's renowned "El Primero." Its intricate workings can be admired through the see-through case back. The dial comes in two color variations: Anthracite (grey) in the center with either a black or silver outer ring. Both are available with either a bracelet or a strap.
The new "Carrera 1887 Chronograph Racing" boasts a matte black finish achieved through black titanium carbide coating. This striking black-faced chronograph features a Grade 2 ultra-light titanium case and is powered by the in-house "Calibre 1887" chronograph movement.
The sapphire crystal windshield is second only to diamond in hardness and scratch resistance. Red accents on the chronograph hands, subdial hands, chronograph start/stop buttons, and stitching on the leather strap add a racing spirit, making this model the most evocative of racing among the current lineup. Its price, under 600,000 yen, is also an attractive point.
