The Original and quite possibly the best. Moonphase - ZENITH Elite Filters ELITE Moonphase Majestic in its tones and whimsical in its harmonious asymmetry, the Elite Moonphase uncovers the veil of night to bring out the enchanting beauty of the moon. There are strap options, too, and, of course, given its role in the watch, the El Primero gets its moment in the sun through a gaping sapphire case back. Cool as that was and is, it’s an acquired taste, so the new collection has a more mainstream three-link bracelet design. The 1960s model had a laddered design created by specialist Gay Frères, as seen on some of Zenith’s Chronomaster Revival models recently. One area of difference is the bracelet design. The series originally came out in 1994 with the El Primero 410 movement the upgraded 410Z movement was introduced in 1998 and is absolutely beautiful to admire. Despite the level of detail, and that its squeezed into a relatively small dial by modern chronograph standards, the read-out is fabulously well balanced and, dare I say it, far clearer than on the Chronomaster Sport. Continue to trim down and focus on my vintage collection, up for sale is my Zenith ChronoMaster Triple Date Moonphase reference 01.0240.410 with the famed El Primero 410Z movement. The ELITE Moonphase watch is made in a 36mm steel case with diamond-set bezel and grey sunray-patterned dial, fitted on a grey alligator leather strap. The inner of these still shows 100 segments, now used to break down the ten seconds it takes for the red hand to complete a full tour of the dial the outer, once a tachymeter, now shows the tenths of a second. New to the design is how the two scales around the outside edge of the dial are used.
