Interview: Aldo Magada Reveals Zenith's New Number One Market, And Explains The El Primero's
Aldo Magada, CEO of Zenith, was at the Royal Automobile Club in London to present the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Hero Cup on Monday morning. A limited edition of 100 pieces, two of which will be gifted to competitors of the classic rallying competition, it cements the brand’s position in the world of vintage automobiles.
