Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP 2 - Big Reduction

Back up for sale is my Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP 2 with the famous El Primero movement. This is a reissue of the somewhat well-known Zenith Cairelli Tipo CP 2 issued to the Italian air force in the 1960s. This reissue is a limited-edition of 1000 watches.

The watch is in excellent condition. I bought it new and wore it very carefully about a dozen times.

It comes with double outer boxes, inner box, manual, hang tag, undated warranty card stamped “Govberg Jewelers” – the full kit. The original strap with deployant buckle has never been worn.

With a loupe you can see some signs of wear but nothing that is apparent with the naked eye. I rate the watch as being in 95% condition, to be conservative.

Now, on to the photos….

I have gone back and forth in my mind on whether to sell this piece... have now decided it is for sale.

So...BUMP 😁

Price reduced to $4500 FIRM with insured worldwide shipping included.

One last bump for this one. 👍

Edit: Withdrawn.

Now for sale again. 🙄

This one is back up for sale with a hefty price reduction. I will be travelling extensively in about two weeks, so it will go back in the vault if it hasn't sold by then.

I have worn the watch a few times since it was originally listed. To be conservative, I would say it is in 90% condition. There are a few marks from strap changes. But, the original strap is still unworn as shown. 👍

One last bump for this one.
