www.worldwatchweb.com - This summer, Vicente del Bosque led the Spanish national soccer team to the top of the world in South Africa. Under his direction, la Roja played the best soccer on offer at this year’s World Cup. The team “ran as smoothly as a Swiss watch”, according to the press.

Ironically, Switzerland was the only team to beat the Spanish selection during the entire tournament! Happily, it seems the coach did not take offense at this unusual faux pas. He is now the new ambassador of the ZENITH brand, the Swiss Manufacture that created the world’s most accurate mechanical chronograph: the famous El Primero.

On July 11th, all of Spain went wild when Andrés Iniesta, nicknamed “The Particle Accelerator”, brought World Cup victory to his country for the first time in its history. This triumph was primarily down to the work of one man: the high priest of polished soccer and a manager with excellent people skills, who chalked up a remarkable score of 31 wins in 33 matches, earning the admiration of the entire soccer world. Vicente del Bosque is only the second coach in soccer history to have won both the Champions League and the World Cup. The national selector imposed his choices gently, without fanfare: this is the strength of this discreet man, who is now adored by the Spanish population.

ZENITH Ambassador

Today, Vicente del Bosque and his loyal right-hand man José Antonio Grande have become two new ambassadors for the ZENITH Manufacture. The coach loves well executed work, rigor and precision; he also appreciates exploits, particularly that of the El Primero caliber, which is today’s most accurate standard mechanical movement in the world.

Del Bosque has chosen to wear the El Primero Captain model, which embodies the finest expression of ZENITH’S heritage: all of the brand’s expertise—technique, precision and design—has been incorporated into this extraordinary timepiece. The Captain range expresses very masculine classical elegance and extreme technical complexity. It is a watch with great ambitions, fit for a captain.
