Hit the hardcore table fans of the realism when the TIPO CP-2 chronograph

In recent years, ZENITH Zenith when it comes to the flight meter will first think of the retro type 20 should be heavy army, but also that retro, really older fans in the ZENITH table is more often mentioned is their home in the 1960s A. Cairelli, which was used by the Italian brand's Navy and Air Force chronographs in 2016, was reinvented by ZENITH in 2016 to attract another group of really familiar chronographs from the 1960s and 1970s Hardcore players. ▲ rotatable bezel is a major feature of the watch, the appearance of aluminum plating should be. Pointer luminous divided into three blocks, This is the early in order to avoid large-scale coating luminous paint easy to crack the problem, exactly the same with the original. Comment 1: The relationship between TIPO CP-2 and A. Cairelli A. Cairelli was actually the Roman dealer responsible for distributing these chronographs to the Italian military during the same year. The official name of the table in the military was TIPO CP -2, but because A. Cairelli had put their own name and the words "ROMA" on the face plate (6 o'clock), the collectors of subsequent generations then directly nicknamed it A. Cairelli, and this time ZENITH At the time of the engraving, his official name was restored, TIPO CP-2, and the original faceplate was printed. The location of A. Cairelli was also replaced by the word AUTOMATIC (which may also imply trademark rights). ▲ a bit surprising is that the watch did not even make a transparent back cover, although this time we take a sample is the shot, However, the specifications of the official catalog also states that the stainless steel bottom cover, it seems there should be no chance to see the movement. Comment 2: across the era of the big table specifications A. Cairelli watches as a feature of the 1960s is that it has a 43mm original size, much larger than the size of the passage of the time, on the one hand to collect the original version of the players that wear today will not seem outdated, and the other On the one hand, the modern engraving does not have to be deliberately enlarged to the popular size at the moment (this is now done engraved engraving almost every brand will do, but it will often provoke Maoist action), as long as the direct action can be consistent at the same time Original and meet the modern aesthetic. ▲ Rotatable bezel on the side of the slippery lines worked exquisite workmanship. The back of the watch is slightly retracted from the side to the bottom, reducing the area of ​​actual contact with the wrist and assisting dressability, especially for the slightly larger size of 43 mm. Comment III: cleverly avoid movement configuration of the inherent limitations <br> original A.Cairelli equipped with 146 DP hand-winding chronograph movement, the movement of the original size is very big, and therefore is suitable to apply in the case of 43mm , While the replica is a matter of course, dress up El Primero. Existing models equipped with El Primero have a difficult problem to avoid is that as long as the case size is slightly larger, the surface of the sub-plate will appear crowded in the center, which is the original size of the old movement is too small a common problem; engraved The TIPO CP-2 also has a bit of a problem compared to the original, but its spin-on bezel is very wide and somewhat compressed to the actual size of the surface, making the problem of concentrating the face plate less noticeable. Heritage Revival Cronometro TIPO CP-2 Stainless steel / El Primero 4069 self-winding movement / hours, minutes and seconds display / chronograph function / Sapphire crystal mirror / waterproof 100 meters / watch diameter 43mm / limited to 1,000 ★ If you want to start: ZENITH has been running the Vintage Flyer product line almost from 2011, and either the simple Pilot series or the full-featured Type 20 is a good name, but I am afraid it will really resonate with the old watchmaker On the other hand, the watches themselves are also selling well. There are several impressive vintage chronographs on the bezel, such as Brexit's Type XX or forthcoming TAG Heuer Autavia, coupled with this TIPO CP-2, is expected in the future such watches may form a popular.
