FSOT: Zenith El Primero A386 steel chronograph

A perfect Zenith El Primero A386 chronograph. Serial 231EXXX dating it to 1971 with a total production run of 2500 pieces during its life time.

The dial is in excellent condition, it’s extremely clean and has developed an even and uniform patina. Sub dials have no damage what so ever and retain their original sheen.

The case measures 38mm diameter and is very sharp. I believe it’s has been polished in the past but done so in a way by professions who have made it true to and like brand new from factory.

The movement, an early Zenith El Primero cal. 3019 PHC, is freshly serviced, running strong and is working like it should. The chronograph operates smoothly and correctly.

Accessories This piece comes on a light brown croc strap with steel buckle. Strap in photo is not included.

Look for cash offers or trade offers vintage Rolex or Tudor 4 digit references or any reference of Daytona (including modern)
