![]() There’s no need to sleep in fear of a missed date change thanks to a gear train programmed to know exactly what day it is every day right until the end of the century. Where the Zenith is unintelligent, so to speak, repeating the same pattern over and over and requiring human intervention to keep it straight and true, this rather Aardman Animations-sounding Langematik Perpetual is a bit smarter. Lange & Söhne can do something rather special. ![]() Perhaps more surprisingly, it’s not the most expensive, either. Lange & Söhne Langematik Perpetual this is a watch that, unsurprisingly, is not the entry-level to the brand. Lange & Söhne Langematik Perpetual 310.026īy ‘a bit more to spend’, I mean a lot more. But what if you’ve got a bit more to spend? A. This may not be an all-singing, all-dancing perpetual calendar, but it does still have 354 parts and ten individual functions-not bad for entry-level Rolex money. And hidden pushers on the side of the case allow you to keep the day and moon phase in check, too. It’s no big deal the quick date change on the crown will tick over from 31 to 1 and bring the day and month with it, so it’s pretty straightforward to adjust, no harder than a normal date display. This is a calendar all right, but it’s not perpetual, or even annual, because on the months with less than 31 days, you’ll need to advance the display yourself. February, leap year or otherwise-forget about it. The end of a month with only 30 days, however, and you’re in trouble. In fact, go to sleep on the last day of July and you’ll be able to sleep well knowing that your watch will be correct in telling you that tomorrow is the first of August. On a Tuesday night in the middle of November, for example, you’ll wake up the next morning to find that the day has advanced, and so has the date, and everything is dandy. You can see we’ve got accommodation for the day, date, month and moon phase, but things aren’t quite as they seem. For everyone else, knowing that your watch draws a direct lineage from the very first integrated Swiss automatic chronograph-and the movement Rolex chose to revive the Daytona with-is pretty special.īut we’re not here for the chronograph, as handy as it is, we’re here for the calendar. If you’re interested in measuring things down to a tenth of a second, that’s a pretty big deal. It’s a Zenith Chronomaster, so of course it comes equipped with the famous El Primero chronograph with its 36,000vph beat-that’s ten ticks per second rather than the usual eight. For many mid-level luxury brands, £4,000 is your entry point, your time-only territory, and that makes what we have a here a bit more special. Okay, so £4,000 is no bargain-basement timekeeper, but to find something with this specification and quality for less is no easy task. Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Moon Phase 02.0240.410
