• I agree it does seem a bit of a weird variation for an El Primero. Its this one. An earlier version of which I noticed in a read back through the thread got a kicking a few pages ago ... LoL. I love it, probably my favourite watch and definitely would be the last to go.

    Best not get started on date windows ... I don't mind a date but I absolutely detest contrasting date wheels, especially in an otherwise single colour dial. If its a panda dial or similar I can sort of understand it, but a black dial with a white date wheel just grates.

  • I think quite a few of these pilot-style chronos have the same roots in the WW2 issued watches with a nod to the post-war French Aeronavale Type 20 specification, including of course the Breguet Type XX; the Zenith Tipo CP2; the issued Lemanias and so on.
