Wear a Smartwatch
with your Zenith El Primero
Smartlet One is compatible with all Zenith El Primero references. Lug widths range from 19mm to 22mm — all natively supported with no adapter. Installation uses the standard spring-bar system — no modification to the watch, fully reversible in seconds.
The El Primero was born in 1969 — the world's first integrated automatic chronograph, beating at 36,000 vph. Zenith kept it alive when the Swiss industry went quartz. It powered the Rolex Daytona from 1988 to 2000. The A386 revival dial is reproduced exactly as it appeared that year: tri-colour subdials, stepped bezel, pump pushers. That history does not disappear when you wear a smartwatch. Smartlet makes both coexist.El Primero lug compatibility
The A386 revival uses 19mm lugs — unusual in the modern market. Smartlet supports this natively. The Chronomaster Original at 38mm runs 19mm. Larger Sport references step to 22mm. All within the native range.
