FS: Zenith El Primero 1 of 100! MINT!

I have for sale produced by Zenith in 1975 for Movado in number of 100 pieces El Primero!!!

In theory, this is a twin of Zenith A788 (1971-1972, 1400 pieces), but only theoretically. What differ 01.0171.415 from A788 is the face which has been improved with new logo and changed indexes, also the shade is different. Of course the crown is signed with "new" logo used since 1973.

In this El Primero the glass, gaskets and tachymeter ring were replaced. The watch was in Switzerland, however the service points proposed by Zenith did not meet my needs, so I purchased from Zenith original parts (listed above), which have been replaced. Watch also underwent a complete service made by my watchmaker, that is why I can offer a one year warranty.

With the watch You get also: blue strap from pictures with buckle, parts that has been replaced, Zenith travel box, receipts, invoice from Zenith
