Zenith Heritage Cronometro Tipo CP-2 Vintage-Style Pilot Chronograph Watch Review

Zenith Heritage Cronometro Tipo CP-2 watch is based on a set of 2,500 timepieces which was made for the Italian military via a local distributor known as A. Cairelli in the 1960s. While the vintage-reissue watch trend is thankfully slowing down a bit, that doesn't mean there aren't still a lot of good lessons from the past that can be used to create delights for watch collectors today. The Heuer watch I am referring to is known as the Heuer Bundeswehr 1550SG Flyback Chronograph.There are a number of variations of this collection of watches out there, and their prices can vary from a few thousand to almost $10,000 depending on the condition and rarity. The original Cronometro Tipo CP-2 as well as the Heuer - Leonidas Bundeswehr had cases which are 43mm wide, with a nice-looking rotating timing bezel. That means this set of watches is among the few vintage sport watches that wear like modern watches.Cheap replica Zenith Heritage watches from China.


The new limited edition Zenith Heritage Cronometro Tipo CP-2 is also 43mm wide, 12.85mm thick and comes in a polished steel case with a legible, sober-looking vintage pilot watch dial complete with bi-compax 30-minute chronograph.Zenith adds its customary level of refinement and some flair, making this one of my top choices out there. The dial design is also very elegant. At 43mm wide (water resistant to 100 meters), the Zenith Heritage Cronometro Tipo CP-2 isn't very thick so it wears quite well. Inside the watch is an automatic in-house-made Zenith El Primero caliber 4069 automatic column wheel chronograph movement which operates at 5Hz (36,000bph) with 50 hours of power reserve.There are also lots of cheap replica Tag Heuer Connected watches for sale.
