Zenith - 'Captain El Primero' - C.O.S.C

Welcome to my Top Swiss Chronographs Boutique! Zenith SA was started in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot at the age of 22, in Le Locle (canton of Neuchâtel), Switzerland. In January 1969, Zenith announced imminent launch of first fully integrated, high-frequency, automatic chronograph movement "El Primero". Today, Zenith wristwatches meet or exceed rigorous timekeeping C.O.S.C. standards, a reflection Zenith's history of innovative precision timekeeping. Stylish and sophisticated, the offered iconic timepiece combines the traditional precision of the famed mechanical chronograph and a modern look of first-class materials. It is a gentlemen’s dress chronograph wristwatch that internally utilises one of the most highly regarded movements ever produced. Just look at this movement (through the transparent case-back): this is a true ode to watchmaking!

For watches older than two years, “original warranty” means that the warranty card is included. General professional pre-sale service was made in August 2026: the watch is keeping good time and working perfectly. Excellent condition, never worn: the wristwatch comes from luxury watch-shop showcase. Leather straps often suffer from temperature in shop windows due to powerful spotlights, that's why the strap is replaced with brand-new one. My personal authenticity and quality warranty: you will get warranty card (as pictured), fully completed, stamped and signed. My impeccable seller reputation speaks for itself: look at my feedbacks and sales ratings. Insured, registered shipping worldwide with Intl. Express service: it’s not cheap, and yet fast and reliable, two days in Europe, three days for the rest of this world. All photos were taken personally by me and correspond to the exact wrist watch you are placing your bid on. My personal conclusion as a connoisseur and watch lover with over 30 years of experience: this is a beautiful piece of watch art. NO EXTRA COSTS for EU Buyers! #collectorsweek_watches
