The Zenith El Primero Sport
Adding to its already robust line up of El Primero chronographs, Zenith has announced a new addition to the range – the El Primero Sport. This new chronograph, set in a stainless-steel case, offers another option to clients in the market for a simpler, larger watch without additional complications. Monochromatic chronograph registers, various strap choices, and two dial options complete the latest offering from this 150-year-old manufacture.At 45 mm in diameter (by 14 mm in thickness), the new Zenith El Primero Sport joins the likes of the Stratos Spindrift in being one of the larger offerings in the El Primero range. The case is similarly styled to other El Primero watches, with beefy sloped lugs extending from a simple round case. All variants feature the same stainless-steel case with polished bezel, which is complemented by brushed and polished finishing on the lugs. 2 OF 63 OF 6 There are two dial options for the El Primero Sport: "lamé" silver

It's been my dream to own a PP perpetual calendar for many years, and, after the price drop, plus a generous discount, I bit. Now that it's been on my wrist for 12 days, I decided to reset the time, which seemed slow by between 5 and 10 seconds. I certainly have no complaint about the accuracy, but setting a watch without running seconds and without a hack is proving a monumental pain. First, I've noted that my dial seems not perfectly calibrated. The minute marker dots appear not to be uniform in their placement, and some are 5 or more seconds off, when compared to others? Given that problem, I decided it was necessary to time the watch just as the minute hand centered over the very same minute dot each hour. But, even using a loupe, it's difficult to see exactly when it's centered over the tiny dot. I then decided that the most accurate way to set the time was t

DJ41 vs Sky-Dweller
Internal components and functions aside, is the major difference the dials of the DJ41 and Sky-Dweller, which look fairly identical except the middle 24 hour circle?
