: original Zenith SS bracelet and a Zenith
: signed buckle and strap.

: I searched for ages to find one of these.

: first and finest automatic chronograph
: movement. The Espada, Zenith’s most
: complicated and advanced landmark vintage
: chronograph.

: This was the top of the range automatic
: chronograph available in the 1970’s, a
: landmark piece. Set to increase in value
: significantly in the years to come, truly an
: investment piece in investment condition.

: Moonphase: unblemished moonphase disc- lovely.

: Movement: Zenith El Primero. I’m assuming it’s
: 30 jewels because the watch was sold in Asia
: and not the US (where lower 17 Jewel El
: Primero movements were retailed to lower
: duty as US customs import duty was imposed
: on the movement’s number of jewels) however
: I’m not going to risk opening it to check.

: condition, has not been polished and is in

: sparingly by both him and I.

: Price: $US4000 and worth every cent- go price a
: new Zenith moonphase ChronoMaster.
: Reluctantly offered: I'm quite happy to keep
: it.....

: I'm a long term collector and contributor to
: On-the-Dash, with several of my Heuer pieces
: featured on the site: so buy with
: confidence.
