Here we have a classic 1973 Zenith El Primero Surf 3019PHC 01.0210.415 with 'C' Shape case design and silver sunburst case in factory unworn conditions, and vertically brushed silver/grey dial with lemon lume plots and matching patina in the handset.

This is a time capsule El Primero, some may say the last of the 3019 PHC Primeros with surprisingly sedate dial style, which is exactly why we love it! Having one of the more mininal designs it is a purely functional design with the signature offset date window, and smaller middle subdial.

The watch has probably been worn only a handful of times and retains its original Zenith strap and buckle in excellent vintage conditions.

The c shape design was populat during the early 70s in Omega and Zenith in particular, and with the 36mm size but 39,5mm lug to lug it really hits the perfect vintage lovers sweetspot on the wrist.
