No watch manufacturer can miss the opportunity to create a dedicated watch to its sponsored events, particularly when the partnership includes a timekeeping component such as in the case of car rallies. Zenith's alliance with the Ennstal Classic is no exception, and thus here it is, the Zenith Chronomaster Ennstal Classic Special Edition (limitation: 24 pieces): The overall design has little to differentiate the timepiece from the current production Chronomaster, it comes in the same 42mm steel
Br,
Hi Magnus, thank you for the excellent photos of the Ennstal Classic. I participated with my daughter and we had a great time, with lovely scenery and very nice participants. Zenith presented the ltd Cairelli re-edition at the Ennstal Classic which will hit the shops in autumn. A lovely watch and everyone who gets one of the 1000 pieces will be very happy indeed! If the Ennstal special edition Zenith had not had those holes in the dial, I might have bought it! As it is, I was happy with my new C
Great you enjoyed this event and thanks for the flowers. as for the 1000 pieces, I have seen this watch and I am waiting for the ok to share the images... Cheers, Magnus
I took a quick iPhone pic of the Cairelli-re-edition but thought it might still be under embargo even though it was quite publicly shown...
