FS: RARE ZENITH EL PRIMERO A385 CHRONOGRAPH *PIC*

For sale from my private collection, a rare watch for your consideration

Vintage Zenith A385 El Primero chronograph

Famous Zenith El Primero cal 3019 PHC movement, only 2400 pieces exist (produced between 1969-1971)

The watch was recently serviced by Rich Askham of the watchspotblog, I will include service papers
The watch has been relumed and case has been lightly polished
All functions are working perfectly as it has just been recently serviced.
The watch has original dial, hands and crown
The watch had one pusher missing when I bought it, so it has been replaced (right bottom pusher below crown) and I was unable to source an original. The price has been adjusted because of this replaced pusher. Instead of keeping the watch with 2 replaced pushers, I opted to install an original and one aftermarket pusher.
I will leave it up to the buyer to decide to change both pushers or source an original pusher to replace the aftermarket one

The watch is in excellent overall condition, please see the photos for yourself
The watch comes on a custom made Horween black leather strap with olive stitching to match the dial

After Bernard De Vos sold his A385 and did research on the price
I am lowering my asking price because of the replaced pusher
Asking price: 3200 Euro
I will ship the watch for free worldwide

Please contact me with any inquiries.
