Zenith El Primero 410 Limited Edition Calendar Chronograph Watch
Hot on the heels of the incredibly cool El Primero Lightweight, Zenith has launched another limited edition El Primero, dubbed the 410 LE.

Among those was the 1858 Chronograph?and this watch, the Montblanc 1858 Automatic.Upon closer inspection it’s easy to tell that the watch is in many ways related to the Minerva Pythagore – an older pilot-style model with cathedral hands just like this one and a seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. As expected, Montblanc’s tribute is spot on and at its core, the?Montblanc 1858 Automatic is actually quite easy to love. However, the
