Hello r/watchexchange! Up for grabs today is a vintage gem. Defined by its octagonal, tonneau-shaped case and taupe-colored, fumé dial, this thing reeks 1970s (in the best way possible). Another interesting element are the large, square hour markers with ridges, adding to the '70s vibe. Only letting this go since it's not getting the wrist time it deserves. I wore it gently in a rotation of ~10 other watches. Below are the quick specs: Case Material - Stainless steel | Case Diameter - 37mm | Lug Width - 18mm | Lug-to-Lug - 44mm | Case Thickness - 12mm | Water Resistance - I wouldn't haha | Movement - Automatic Zenith Cal. 2562, handwinding, 23 jewels, 28,800 vph, keeping accurate time +~10 sec/day (YMMV) | Crown - Screw down | Crystal - Domed acrylic | Lume - Tritium | **Condition** - Mechanically excellent, cosmetically shows wear consistent with age throughout | **Comes With** - Watch and Forstner ladder bracelet only, no box/papers **Price** - $950 net to me via PayPal and I will pick up CONUS shipping (open to Canadian buyers as well) | **Pics + Timestamp** - https://imgur.com/a/pQ7WoJA *Trades* - Try me! Please nothing over 42 x 50 L2L though. Must be willing to ship first unless established on this sub. Happy to answer any questions =) Tons of successful deals on this sub!

Zenith SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company was started in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot at the age of 22, in Le Locle in the canton of Neuchâtel. Zenith was purchased by LVMH in November 1999, becoming one of several brands in their watch and jewellery division. Jean-Claude Biver became Interim CEO in 2017, replaced CEO Aldo Magada, who replaced Jean-Frédéric Dufour in 2014.

Zenith has a long reputation for the quality and precision of their watches. It is one of the Swiss watch manufacturers that still produce their own movements in-house.

The El Primero calibre, which was first released in 1969, and still produced today, was one of the first automatic chronograph movements and has a frequency of 36,000 alternations per hour (5 Hz). This high rate allows a resolution of 1⁄10 of a second and a potential for greater positional accuracy over the more common standard frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour (4 Hz). The El Primero was honoured with a 2012 release of the El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th, limited to 1,969 pieces (in honour of the original 1969 release date), that housed the same 36,000 vph movement and a sub-dial measuring in tenths of a second to make a complete rotation every ten seconds.
