Hodinkee works in collaboration with luxe watch manufacturer Zenith once again as the two spotlight the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Limited Edition this time around. It is set to launch on September 25th and marks the third time that the two are reuniting.
The forces reimagine the Zenith El Primero and land on a timepiece that represents both the past and present. It reflects the strength and versatile design of the original El Primero while forming a modern twist that is intricately crafted. It is a high-performance sports watch and the limited launch only has 200 pieces made and the first 75 will be available to purchase online on both HODINKEE Shop and Zenith's website.
Romain Marietta, ZENITH Chief Products Officer shares, It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with the team at Hodinkee, a valued and long-standing partner of the brand. This watch embodies the epitome of sophistication, effortless, and timeless elegance in chronograph design. The subtle blend of vintage inspiration with the striking meteorite aesthetic makes it an undeniable winner.” Ben Clymer, founder of Hodinkee adds, “There are so few brands in this world with which we seek to work – let alone to work and collaborate on three separate occasions over the course of eight years. Zenith is one of the very few – and as one of our first ever collaborators in the space, one that means a great deal to us. The El Primero is an ideal canvas on which to create and iterate. It speaks to and honors the brand, caliber, and indeed, entire Swiss industry’s history, while pushing the boundaries of what is possible from a materials perspective. In particular, with our 2024 collaboration, we’re doing something never done before, and used Zenith’s historic triple calendar caliber, and combining it with authentic and organic meteorite. Because Meteorite is naturally occurring, no two watches will be alike, and that makes this limited edition even more special. I could not be more excited about this launch. “
