·Many of you know about the Zenith A Cairelli CP-2 created for the Italian Air Force.
I was fortunate to purchase one last year, and it's my favorite watch.
I've posted various times on this forum about it, including https://omegaforums.net/threads/recording-the-tic-toc-of-my-watches.29465/ where I recorded the sound of it.
So I was thrilled when I heard there was going to be a re-issue of this watch. I'm not exactly certain why I want a re-issue when I have the original. Part of it, probably, is that I get most of the coolness of the original, but I would feel heart broken if I make a scratch it really bad, or drop it on its head. I saw the video of it from Baselworld this spring, though it seemed to also be a super secret, and it was very hard to find any information about it. I put in my order anyway.
I received my Chronodata Tipo CP-2 a week and a half ago. It is 1 of 1000.
Each watch on my wrist:
I also took some pictures to compare the two watches.
They are pretty similar. The new one, being an El Primero movement, has the subdials closer to each other. I know some of you think that makes it cross-eyed, but I think it's just fine.
I'm please as punch, and I hope that you all the like the pictures to show you the new watch and compare it with the original.
