Wondering what automatic chronographs there are at 36000vph.
Zenith El Primero....any others?

Thanks!

 

Not many. The Daytona based on the Zenith movement was 28,800, they down clocked it. Not sure if it was for reliabity reasons or power reserve.

The F385 from Blancpain is though.

The Tag MikrotourbillonS has 2 escapement 28,800 for the watch and 50hz or 36000 for the chronograph.

 

I have seen several watchmakers makes posts suggesting that the El Primero, while first to market as an auto chrono isn’t a particularly reliable design or all that nice to work on. Perhaps the high beat rate is a factor here or perhaps not. It is perhaps noteworthy that Rolex removed one of the headline features when they took it on and ultimately ditched the EP altogether, though of course the latter action may have been embarrassment at buying in from outside.

 

Seiko Hi-Beat is 36,000vph.

 

Not chronographs.

 

Ah, jumped too soon. Thanks for the correction.

 

Thanks @Foo2rama re the F385.
Looks like 360,000 for the MikrotourbillonS chonograph?

 

Might be I was drinking a bit last night lol.

 

What's a 0 or two between friends?!

 

I mixed up 10th and hundredths of a second lol Neil would not be happy

 

Blancpain Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback uses the 36,000vph Cal F385.

 

Breguet Type XXII 3880ST uses a Cal 589F at 72,000vph.
