    Zenith El Primero "Big Blue" T.V Screen watch from the mid 1970s.

    The 3019PHC movement was serviced in March 2021 by Simon Freese and will have the remainder of the 12 month mechanical warranty. The case and bracelet are in very good condition and appear unpolished, the original brush is still clearly present and there are no dents or dings. There is a very light inscription which appears to be some sort of security number on the rear lug. It have photographed it but it's quite hard to see. Signed clasp and crown. Dial is unmarked and the tachy ring is still a nice deep blue which can often be faded. All functions start/stop/reset as expected.

    Please use photos provided and ask any questions you may have.

    I used to have one of these, a big, sold chunk of quality watch with great heft and wrist presence. What's not to like? I sold mine for £2k 10 years ago so this is a very good price. GLWS.

    Zenith's blue from the 1970's is stunning. Great price for anyone looking for a 1st generation EP and afraid of the service costs. James Bond had Submariners but Austin Powers should have had one of these - Yeahhhh baaayby!

    This is the kind of ad that makes me regret selling mine...

    Congrats to whoever committed to buying this!
