Zenith El Primero “Destro” Watches for ONLY WATCH 2011

Designed for the southpaw…

Just about a week to go until ONLY Watch 2011 and my previews continue.  Today we look at Zenith and the two unique pieces that they have created for the event.  Both these watches are what are known as “destro” style (Italian word), meaning that the crown and chronograph pushers are located on the left side of the case (usually they are on the right side) which makes the watches are suitable for a left-hander to wear on his right wrist.  Zenith says that “Like Leonardo da Vinci, one in ten people are left-handed, and the proportion varies considerably between various countries, reaching as much as one-quarter of the population in some cases. It is for them that these two models are specifically designed.”  Both models house the legendary El Primero calibre which was launched by Zenith in 1969 and is now one of the most famous movement families in horological history.
