Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Edition

Further corporate cosying up between Zenith and Range Rover following a first date in 2016 sees a smart new Chronomaster El Primero Range Rover Velar Special Edition to complement the new Range Rover Velar.

Again using a black ceramised aluminium composite for its 42mm case, the familiar features of the Chronomaster are tweaked to include a brushed grey dial with copper toned hands, markers and detailing, and presented on a black rubber strap with perforated calfskin it's an aesthetically pleasing combination.

Powered by Zenith's ever superb Cal 400b El Primero movement, which can be appreciated through the transparent exhibition caseback, and not unlike the new Range Rover car, the Chronomaster Velar edition is equipped for reliability and luxury.
