Zenith El Primero Ref A386 Unpolished

Introduced in 1969, the Zenith El Primero Reference A386 sits amongst the most celebrated chronographs in watchmaking. Powered by the automatic high-beat calibre 3019, the highly emphasized red chronograph hand glides over the dial in the smoothest manner.

The model’s hands and hour markers feature a pale yellow tritium that is very attractive. Competing with the tri-colored subdials, the attributes of this watch are really a beautiful testament to the sports watches of yesteryear.  The chronograph seconds hand appears to be slightly newer, but is correct for the reference.

The watch is 38mm wide (with a lug-to-lug length of 45.5mm). The lug width is 19mm and the height is 12.5mm. We believe the case remains unpolished showing its original finishing and bevels.

We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It does not come with box or papers.
