  • The Zenith El Primero ref. 03.2080.400/21.C496 embodies Zenith’s legacy of precision and design innovation, distinguished by its lacquered black dial with three overlapping subdials — a hallmark of the brand since 1969. Its 42mm stainless steel case houses the high-beat El Primero 400 automatic movement, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour for chronograph precision to 1/10th of a second. The beautifully finished calibre is visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, revealing the movement that made horological history.

  • This watch is in very excellent condition, showing only a few light signs of careful wear, with other areas remaining near mint. The deployant clasp retains part of its original blue factory protective stickering. The movement is running properly with all functions operating as intended. Additional photos are available on request.

  • This watch comes with its original boxes, booklets, and hang tag.
