I am putting up for sale or trade this very clean and very cool vintage chronograph of which only 800 of the 01.0190.415 were ever produced between 1972-75.

Launched in 1972, this is a hybrid watch combining legibility and luminescence to meet the needs of pilots but also equipped with 300 metres water-resistance and double-gaskets of a diver’s watch. This Issue was the first ZENITH Pilot model equipped with the 3019PHC El Primero calibre - the same caliber that was used in the Rolex Daytona until the late 80s.

Serviced early 2021

Comes with the original Lobster Zenith bracelet.

USD4500. Payment in AUD via wise.com or direct bank deposit

Comes with insured shipping at the full asking price otherwise 50/50 on shipping and insurance.

Lots of references here and elsewhere - happy to provide links on request.

Thank you and feel free to msg me with questions and offers for trade. Keen on vintage Rolex fluted DJ or Turn-O-Graph "Thunderbird" - but not locked into anything atm

For those who have asked, the bracelet will fit a wrist size a bit over 8"

Shown here on my 71/2" wrist with three spaces on the clasp still to be used.

Successful purchase from Blubarb

I'm no longer a virgin watch purchaser on OF, and this also was my first watch purchase ex-US, as Blubarb is based in AUS. So, I was a little worried about sending funds far, far away. He was easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions, especially the …

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.
