Zenith 24.2040.400/27.R797 El Primero Range Rover Special Edition

The Zenith El Primero Range Rover Special Edition (ref. 24.2040.400/27.R797) debuted in 2016 to commemorate the partnership between Zenith and Land Rover, blending horological heritage with automotive prestige. The 42 mm ceramicised aluminium case—light yet robust—echoes the iconic Range Rover chassis and measures a slender 12.75 mm in thickness. Inside beats the legendary El Primero 400B automatic chronograph caliber, a high-frequency column-wheel movement operating at 5 Hz (36,000 vph), with 31 jewels, 326 components, and over 50 hours of power reserve. The brushed grey dial is elegantly restrained, marked only by “Zenith Range Rover” at 12 o’clock, rhodiumed luminous hands and markers, and a tachymeter scale for functional styling. The transparent sapphire caseback reveals a rotor adorned with both Zenith and Range Rover logos and engraved “El Primero Range Rover / Special Edition.” Water-resistant to 100 meter s, the watch is fitted with a perforated calfskin strap coated over rubber—available in ivory (ref. R797) or blue (ref. R796)—secured by a black-DLC titanium triple-folding clasp. This model is not limited in production but remains highly sought after for its technical prowess, lightweight construction, and refined automotive homage—an exceptional piece for collectors valuing innovation and understated luxury.
