Let's hope they develop something new.
Somehow I think my concept is probably not at the top of their agenda. How about a 10Hz El Primero, a co-axial hours and minutes totaliser sub-dialed version or a reimagining of the El Primero as a highly finished manually wound chronograph similar to the Minerva/Villeret/Montblanc releases. As a proud owner I reluctantly admit that they do need to upgrade the movement in some significant way.

Or in order to revive another GREAT Zenith tradition...
please, please, please a new excellent & outstanding and unconventional manually wound chronometer movement , much in the tradition of a Cal. 135, or at least the T-40! If I may wish, please ;-) Magnus
Very interesting. But is this really an El Primero?
Having seen the back of the timepiece on another website, I think it is a cool watch, perhaps a bit large for my taste. The price is very competitive too, which is a nice surprise. Reaction on general sites is mixed, but the watch leaves a very positive i...
Yes, I think the 'El Primero' brand is reserved to 5 Hz escapement...
