Zenith Captain 18.2110.400/01.C498

Beating at an amazing 36,000 vph (5Hz) and capable of measuring time to a tenth of a second, the El Primero was perhaps the most impressive of the three world-first automatic chronograph movements that appeared in 1969. However, this magnificent creation didn't get its time to shine properly until after the quartz crisis, when Zenith was re-establishing its reputation as a leader in haute horlogerie. Today it remains one the most prestigious and desirable chronos, not to mention one of the most precise, and is used in a range of market-leading watches from both Zenith and other brands. This piece, from the Captain collection, harks back to the classical forms of the brand's early days with a stunning rose gold case and elegant, silver-toned sunray dial.

This Zenith has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards.
