The 38 pieces will exclusively be sold through Zenith retailer timelessluxwatches. In 2022, Zenith is returning to the El Primero 3600 movement platform for a new introduction, this time without the chronograph functionality. Price for the Zenith Chronomaster El Primero 38mm Final Edition will be $8,800 on the three leather straps and $9,850 on bracelet with the three leather straps, as well. There will also be a steel bracelet option that includes those three leather straps, though I am not certain about the exact number out of 38 that will have this bracelet option. This display featuring a blend of strength and distinction is swept over by a slim red central sweep-seconds hand and luminescent facetted hours and minutes. The 38mm Chronomaster Final Edition is going to come with three calf-leather straps in red, blue, and gray that match the subdial windows. 3523.80.00 that is 39mm and pretty perfect. I actually quite like sub-40mm chronographs and own an old Omega Speedmaster Reduced Ref. Of course, I’m going by memory from the last time I wore a 38mm El Primero, but I have done so on several occasions. I believe the lug-to-lug height for this soon-to-be-gone case is just around 46mm, which is more than one would guess for a 38mm, but it makes for a very wearable watch. The 38mm-wide case should be just around 12.45mm-thick and has 100M of water resistance, as is the case with previous iterations. Of course, it operates at a frequency of 36,000 vph and has a 50-hour power reserve.

Zenith uses the El Primero 4061 movement here, which is the no-date model, and I think the type of enthusiasts who will pick up one of these 38 pieces likely will likely appreciate this choice.
