The new caliber 3019 "EL PRIMERO" was presented to the press by ZENITH, January 10, 1969 while the competitor project will wait until on March 3. In its version of origin. . The history of El Primero which had stopped in the years quartz failed according to the legend to be completed at the end of the Seventies and it would be thanks to a clock and watch maker of ZENITH, disobeying the orders of the American owners of the time. El Primero could have one second chance when after ROLEX was interested in El Primero at the end of the Eighties and ensured ZENITH an order book which justified to start again manufacture of it. If ZENITH in addition diffused some specimens of its caliber to some re-elected marks, it is the crowned brand which was the engine of the revival. ROLEX wished to make modifications to this caliber of high technology to adapt it to the schedule of conditions of its model DAYTONA but ZENITH fell under the continuity of the challenge launched in 1962 and improved its mythical movement by making it profit from new technologies of production and by continuing some the developments.  which indeed, acquired the mark in its clock making pole in 1999 in particular with dimensions of Tag Heuer is engaged in the daring industrial bet to start again ZENITH whose growing old image did not emphasize the quality of the watches of the mark. ZENITH had the knowledge to make clock making but encountered difficulties of letting it know. It was necessary moreover to invest in the production equipment if not neglected by the preceding owners at least insufficiently developed since a generation in front of an increasingly hard competition. Conscious of having acquired a jewel of the clock industry, LVMH required of Thierry Nataf to take up the double challenge on the one hand, to vacuum-clean the image of ZENITH and to reposition the brand and on the other Tourbillions, Open models, power reserve indicator, big date, split second are the complications which came to transform, supplement and perfect this movement of exception. The clock and watch makers of ZENITH could not have anticipated that the brand would be able someday to give a new life to its caliber El Primero. Imagination is without limits. El Primero is today on the front of the scene of which it dominates the family of the chronograph calibers. With its 30 mms in diameter for 6,5 mm of thickness and only 7,55 mm for the version with triple day of the month with instantaneous jump, this movement with column wheel is one of most powerful on the market. It does not include less than 354 parts including 227 different in the most complicated version, has 41 screws and 31 rubies, and requires more than 50 points of lubrication. The caliber requires nine months of work in cumulated time, request for 5 to 50 operations per part, imposes 50 millings of various dimensions on the side of the bridges. Twenty clock and watch makers are put at contribution for a movement and not less than 18 metals are employed. The EL Primero remains the only movement able to measure short times with the tenth of a second. Its "split second" version is its last great evolution but certainly not the last, and its history seems to have beautiful days in it. any way you look at it , nothing fits gently on ones wrist as an old watch.
