In the shadow of El Primero
By Julien Moreau, Geneva ยท
The Elite movement arrived in 1994 and has spent thirty years being overshadowed by its louder brother. This is Zenith's plain dress watch: 40.5 mm of steel, 9.15 mm thick, a silver dial with small seconds, the Elite 670 with 50 hours behind an open back, 50 m, leather. At fifty-eight to sixty-three hundred dollars it is perfectly nice and entirely forgettable, and it will sell for less later. Choose it if you love Zenith. Otherwise, the Jaeger Master Control Date is a little more expensive and a good deal more desirable.
