Zenith El Primero Reference A386

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 immediately catches the attention of the wearer. Competing with the tri-colored subdials, the attributes of this watch are really a beautiful testament to the sports watches of yesteryear. 

This particular example dates to 1969, and comes on the Gay Frères steel ladder bracelet 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 including the crystal. The case remains unpolished showing its original finishing and bevels.

The watch comes from a personal client, and includes both the box, original hang tag and an Extract from The Registers from Zenith.
