Zenith A783 Vintage El Primero Chronograph Gay Freres Lobster Bracelet
Zenith A783 Vintage El Primero Chronograph Gay Freres Lobster Bracelet
£5,250.00
Description
An uncommon reference the Zenith A783 flies under the radar when it comes to the early vintage El Primero range.
Its blue overlapping subdials are nicely complimented with a navy blue tachymetre bezel.
The 38mm stainless steel case is fitted with the Zenith square logo crown.
Comes fitted on its original full length Zenith lobster bracelet. The Gay Freres signed clasp is rather rare and has a double date stamping. On the left side of the GF logo we have "3/71" for the 3rd quarter of 1971. And on the right side we have "4371" for the 43rd week of 1971.
Those of you with a calendar and calculator will notice the 43rd week would fall into the 4th quarter. Our own research indicates that being a transitional period for bracelets and date stamping convention, a few early versions of the lobster bracelet were signed by Gay Freres with their 3 digit date codes and also stamped with the 4 digit date code which Zenith later adopted for the bracelets.
Inside beats the infamous Zenith El Primero calibre 3019PHC.
It has been thoroughly inspected by our watchmaker, is fully functioning and keeping good time.
