ONE FOR THE ROAD

An auto-inspired Zenith timepiece coupled with a matching watch winder

- By CELINE YAP

Zenith’s El Primero was born in 1969 and in that same year, Land Rover introduced its first luxury off- road vehicle, the Range Rover. The partnershi­p between these two trailblazi­ng brands started in 2016 with the El Primero Range Rover Special Edition and continues this year with the Chronomast­er El Primero Range Rover Velar. Velar, of course, is the latest model launched in 2017 as Range Rover’s most refined SUV yet.

More understate­d than the original model, this timepiece highlights the partnershi­p with its perforated strap that mimics the upholstery pattern in the Velar.

Like the chassis of the car, the case of the watch is made of aluminium but to protect it from scratches, Zenith had it treated with black ceramic. The resulting effect pairs beautifull­y with the vertical brushed charcoal grey dial with copper accents. Designed for adventure, this watch is water resistant to 100m and made for optimal functional­ity as evinced by its ratcheted crown and black round pushers. Through the sapphire caseback, Zenith reminds you of its special relationsh­ip with Range Roger via an engraving on the rotor. Exclusivel­y at the Zenith store at Marina Bay Sands, this sporty timepiece comes with a matching watch winder to keep it powered up and ready for adventure. Gift must be purchased by 31 December 2017. Please email ultimategi­ftguide@ imv.com.sg for enquiries and to purchase. Visit robbreport.com. sg or robbreport. com.my for more details. ≠
