Zenith El Primero Striking 10th Foudroyante Watch

The movement of this watch has been designated the El Primero 4052 B automatic calibre and it has what is known as a foudroyante function, in this case a 1/10th second. If you are not familiar with the term, foudroyante is also known as a Jumping Seconds function and on this watch it works like this: the foudroyante hand (the primary/red hand on this watch) makes a complete rotation in just 10 seconds as opposed to 60 with a normal seconds hand. This explains why on the outer edge of the dial you see 10 seconds instead of 60 which enables readings to within 1/10th of second. The watch consists of a 42mm diameter case and will be available in rose gold or stainless steel. Water-resistant to 100 meters, and sapphire crystal on top and bottom.
