Absolutely fantastic...
I am in permanent limbo on this one - as soon as I convince myself I will buy one, there is someone to point out quirks or faults. Last such collector (from a different forum) alluded to the fact that the reset function is finicky at best if not absent or impossible to use.
Would you be so kind to share some of the day-to-day usage experience: accuracy, comfort, chrono function, etc?
Thanks for the lovely pix - if only Zenith would consider a re-issue which is El Primero inside... ah...
The De Luca's are very nice but this one is a grail :-)
Just some pictures, the watch doesn't need an introduction :-) 'assigned' ;-) ...
Does it come fromm an Italian Dealer? If yes, I saw it...
And more, I also thought about getting it. Happy that you are the winner, Bruno! Yes, a cool piece with history, and a very clean dial. Like it much more than the De Lucas. Best, Nicolas
Very nice but ...
Is not El Primero powered, correct? I'm trying to stay with El Primero powered only. My short list: 1) Rainbow black 2) Deluca (not the one with Mercedes hands) Cheers, Nilo
no
a 'Martel' movement, Martel was a movement manufacture. Zenith used already Martel movements many years and in 1959 they bought the Martel company.
Well, if it's a Martel then ...
We are talking, based on recent information, on a close relative to the El Primero. Now is very desirable. Cheers, Nilo
With so few made . . .
. . . it's closer to a contemporary Daytona than Speedmaster, in terms of rarity. Very cool, Bruno. This could be the linchpin of any Zenith collection. Impressed, Art
Anthony, here is a bit more

One of Zenith's classics! Wonderful catch
I had the opportunity of buying one and declined. 999#%^?!< !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Z' (terribly envious)
That's the real deal ...
Bruno, It's correct to say that the movement of this outstanding piece is Zenith/Martel 146HP? Cheers, Nilo
You are correct ...
Took forever to find a reliable source for the 146 differences. I will post a table on my forthcoming post for the Zenith diver. Cheers, Nilo
