Mini Replica Watch Review Zenith El Primero Chronometer
After reading some positive feedback about the the Zenith El Primero Perpetual Chronometer, I pulled trigger on a replica version a few weeks ago. And it turned out a successful purchase. I am so happy that I feel I must at least write a review for it.
Let me start with a general description: Sized at 40mm, the watch has a stainless still, a busy brown dial, and a brown leather strap with deployant clasp. The dial is also available in white and black for your choosing. And the watch also comes with a bracelet option. Beating inside the watch is a Seagull ST19 hand-wound mechanical movement.
The dial, featuring intricate guilloche, has a tachymeter, central hands, three subsidiary dials(running seconds@ 9, date @12, chrono minutes@ 3) and a fully working mo0nphase @ 6. Besides, it bears some text and a a little star.
This watch offers a great number of details. But due to the small size, most of the details become ornamental as it is a bit hard to read them on the dial. Normally, I just use the time and the moon phase. To be honest, this is my first replica watch with a moonphase and it looks really beautiful. Overall, it is a good dressy watch.
Move on the detailed section: The crown and pushers are well constructed and works well. You can easily set the time and wind the watch. The date and moonphase are set through push buttons.
The case back bears nice engravings and thus look good. It displays the Seagull ST19 that has been nicely finished and decorated.
As I think strap compliments this watch better than the bracelet. I bought the strap version. It comes with a deployant clasp with nice engravings and correct lettering.
And this watch has two flaws I have to fix. One is the poor-quality strap. Compared with watch, the leather quality is really awful. So I plan to buy a decent strap to replace it. The another is the AR coating which influences the reading of the dial. I have to remove it or mod it.
I believe once the two flaws are fixed, my replica Zenith El Primero Chronometer will be a supper rep for the money I have paid.
