Introduction

Arguably one of the most famous chronograph makers in all of horology, Zenith is best-known for their El Primero automatic chronograph movement. From its status as one of the first automatic chronograph movements ever made (depending on who you ask) and the base movement to feature within the second-generation Rolex Daytona, the El Primero is certainly a modern-day icon. Launched in 1969, its incredible hi-beat rate, amazing accuracy and technical prowess ensured that any watch it was inside was one of the best chronographs money could buy. One of those watches was Zenith's own A386, the first watch the iconic movement was offered within. However, offered here we have the Zenith El Primero Revival A386 Fine Watch Club Edition. Launched as a limited edition collection of just 24 individually-numbered pieces, this collection was offered only to the members of the Fine Watch Club, first international club for multi-brand watch owners. Fetauring the A386’s signature 38mm stainless steel case and its iconic tri-color subdials, this limited edition example lets itself be known through its stunning bronze-tan dial. Additionally, it features a commemorative caseback and blue indices to match its blue hands that add a bright burst of color to its dial. A stunning example of how to merge horological heritage with the tastes of modern collectors, this is one limited edition that we will be sad to see go.
