Zenith
El Primero Rainbow Flyback Chronograph
Serviced / Full Box Set / 1997

French-Air-Force-Tejas.jpg

 

Built in 1997, the El Primero "Rainbow" was made to specs set forth by the French Air Force, a fly-back chronograph capable of withstanding forces of up to 9 to 11 G's, wide variations in pressure and temperature, and a dial that was extremely easy to read.


Story

In the late 1990s the French Ministry of Defence was seeking for a watch for its fighter pilots. Zenith responded the bid for tender launched by the French Ministry of Defence by presenting the reliable and resistant Rainbow Fly-Back model in 1997. Its steel case had a diameter of 40 mm, therefore the readability from the big dial was outstanding and the accuracy of the Zenith El Primero calibre 400 under all conditions at the level desired by the French Ministry of Defence.
