For sale is a vintage Zenith A385 with El Primero 3019 movement.

The case is worn but still in what I believe to be an unpolished condition which is rare for this model. On the top of the case, the sunburst finish is still clearly visible. The sides of the case has horizontal brushing.

It comes on its original Gay Freres ladder bracelet from 1970 with correct endlinks. The bracelet easily fits my 7 inch wrist and there is still an additional link fitted inside the buckle that could be used for extra length. Bracelet has some stretch but is still fine.

I believe that the lume on the hands is original and it has been stabilised during the recent service so it won’t drop out. Crown is generic type.

Watch has been serviced in 2023 and I have all the replaced parts which I will include with the watch. A NOS rotor was installed (with period correct markings) along with a new reset hammer, a NOS date wheel (with period correct font) and a date spring. Mainspring, crystal and gaskets were also changed. Watch functions very well.

I invested quite a lot in this watch and I’m kind of sad to see it go. It has a huge amount of charm and can easily be worn daily. I have about 7k in this watch. I am asking 6000 Euro, shipped worldwide. Watch is in Singapore.
