El Primero Chrono!

From the renowned El Primero line – the Zenith Ref. 01.0420.400, a true classic among automatic chronographs with history and character. The 36 mm stainless steel case combines sporty elegance with comfort and is in very good condition. There are light signs of wear, but they are subtle and do not impair the appeal of this watch in the slightest.

The dial features the iconic design with three sub-dials. The hands and indices are clear, easy to read, and in well-maintained condition, which underscores both the functionality and appearance.

Inside beats the automatic movement of the El Primero family – known for high frequency and precise timing – a movement that impressively documents Zenith's expertise in chronograph technology.

The original box is included.
