Here we have a classic 1960s Zenith Black Chronograph Cal. 146 HP AH2711 with a 38mm stainless steel case that sits comfortably on your wrist thanks to the tapered lugs, and its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 44.5mm and a case thickness of 13mm. Down the right side, we have the piston chronograph pushers and a signed coin-edged crown in the centre. A smooth, bevelled-edged bezel holds a domed crystal above a reverse panda dial. An outer Tachymeter scale surrounds a precisely executed minute track; applied steel baton indexes mark the hours, the chronograph consists of three white recessed registers, a 30-minute, 12-hour and small seconds, steel hands filled with Tritium are complemented by a tapered chronograph hand, at 12 o’clock we have the Zenith motif, completing this dynamic vintage chronograph. On the reverse, a solid case back with the embossed Zenith motif in the centre, inside a manually wound Zenith Cal. 146 HP, one of the last manually wound chronograph movements Zenith made. The "HP'' stood for the three register chronograph designation. "DP" was a 2-register chronograph of the same calibre. The excellent chronograph calibre 146-HP was built from the same Martel components as Universal Genève movements of the 60s. By 1960, Zenith had purchased Martel outright, along with its production facility in Pont de Martel, Switzerland. The very same facility wherein, in 1965, the first prototypes of the El Primero were produced. It comes paired with a well-suited 20mm leather strap and pin buckle.
