Zenith El Primero Vintage

[Andsan]

24 hours after it has been sent from Rome DHL knocked on my door, Täby Sweden.

A Zenith El Primero 1972, 37 mm. 3019 PHC. Model number 01-0210-415. Associated original band (which is rare). Created in 4000 copies.

Shall replace the hands as they lost some color, which is common on these.

A lovely looking watch, Anders.

Lovely watch indeed. I love the fit of that bracelet at the lugs. Perfect.

[Shropshire Lad]

Very classy, I like it.

[Coot]

40 odd years old and still a stunner!

[KAS118]

Very nice - I like the bracelet

[gunner]

Very nice indeed, would complement my de luca nicely.

[Eamon]

Fine watch, thanks for sharing.

[markosgr28]

This is stunning! Wear it in good health!

[pete-r]

Oooh that's lovely!

[Losenotaminute]

Wow, a beautiful watch, congratulations. The hands look fine to me....

[halfscrew]

That is a hoofing piece. I am trying not to look at or think about an El Primero, and this little darling strolls in!

Oh well, I can feel the best intentions crumbling as I type.

I love it, the only "problem" is when servicing LVHM do not hesitate in asking for all your money

[Phil0886]

Congratulations, that looks lovely and in fantastic condition for a 40+ year old watch!

I don't think it is possible to ask for a more sophisticated gentleman's vintage chronograph than this. Lovely, in every way.

Really nice, and even better with the bracelet. I used to have an un-branded bracelet of that type, with the flattened or rolled links - very comfortable.

[Toolzenith]

Stunning classic, bracelet as well.

[Tangmere]

Wow, great find. I really like that, very classy.

[RickChard]

I have the exact model and it is truly a wonder. It looks a fantastic example you have, I particularly like the bracelet. I've been unsuccessfully hunting for one for some time now.

[bogie]

really nice, Ive never seen one on the bracelet before other than in catalogue pics

[Piemuncher22]

An absolute beauty. Well done.

[Andsan]

for all the nice words.
I really like the watch and the bracelet is a little extra

[learningtofly]

That epitomises everything good about Zenith, IMO. I wouldn't replace the hands, though - just have them relumed to match the dial, if anything. There are members here (e.g. James/Dreamboat10) who could do that for you.

[primabaleron]

Very, very nice - congratulations :)

[zeroeseight]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[erwin]

Congratulations!!!
Definitely, watches designed between 1960 and 1980 are my favorites.

[Edward77]

Seriously lovely watch. Have you tried it on a leather strap yet?

[Aquaracer2]

Congrats again andsan, lovely watch!!

[Andsan]

Seriously lovely watch. Have you tried it on a leather strap yet?

Thanks

I have currently no plans to switch to leather. But in the future I maybe change my mind. I've always been a big fan of kroko / alligator, lizard and I have it on several of my watches but I let steel bracelet remain, it is still the original ;)

Wow, that's one great looking watch, congrats :-)
