High-end Swiss watchmaker Zenith has partnered with star point guard Russell Westbrook, who currently plays for Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA, in order to create a limited edition series of their annual calendar chronograph.
The timepiece comes in a stainless steel case measuring 48mm in diameter. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, is water resistant to 100 meters, and features an engraving of the silhouette and signature of Russell Westbrook on the caseback.
The movement is a Swiss automatic Zenith in-house caliber El Primero 4054 with 29 jewels, beating at 36,000 vph, and with a power reserve of up to 50 hours. The basketball theme is further apparent in the design of the dial, which is done in blue with orange accents, reminiscent of Oklahoma City Thunder’s colors, and also features Russell Westbrook’s signature. The watch comes on a blue alligator strap with orange stitching and orange rubber lining with a steel pin buckle and also boasts a couple of complications: a chronograph and an annual calendar.
The Zenith Pilot Aeronef Type 20 Tribute to Russell Westbrook is limited to just five pieces, each priced at $11,900.
