Well, that just a quick insight into my bias towards Zenith, but I was quite excited to know that 50 years later, the brand has now introduced a spruced up 2021 version of the iconic A386, which made its debut way back in 1969 as one of the first steel watches to be equipped with the revolutionary El Primero calibre. Let me be honest, back then I was over the moon to get my first luxury “gold” timepiece, but I had no idea that I was now the proud owner of a 90’s cult classic. Although I loved the sentiment here, I never knew how that actually felt until the day my father handed over his watch to me, my first luxury timepiece, the gold El Primero Rainbow Chronograph. I’ve often been intrigued by the legacy of watches being passed down, you know, like the famous Patek Philippe ad campaign, ”You never actually own a Patek Philippe, you merely look after it for the next generation”. A 21st century rendition of the A386! The El Primero has been and always will be very special to me on a personal level.
