Pre-owned 1970s Zenith 'TV' Blue El Primero Ref. 01.0200.415

Excellent condition, and practically unworn. The case and bracelet have a few very light scratches and handling marks. The polished part of the bezel has some very light scratches too. The caseback still has some of the original purple protective coating on it. The dial and hands are in excellent condition with very little patina. The bracelet is in excellent condition with no stretch and some very minor handling marks.

The watch measures approximately 7.25" long when laid flat and includes an aftermarket expansion link. (not shown)

The Zenith El Primero debuted in 1969 as one of the world's first automatic chronographs. Zenith featured the new movement in a number of different case shapes at launch. This reference came a few years after the El Primero was released in the early/mid 1970s, and it would be produced until around the end of that decade. Collectors today refer to this model as the "TV" or "Big Blue" due to its squarish-tonneau case shape that resembled a television set and the distinct blue colored dial.
