Zenith Defy El Primero A782

Zenith Defy El Primero Vintage

Zenith El Primero Ref. A782 is a rare vintage chronograph from the early 1970s, highly prized for its vibrant turquoise vignette dial that fades from light to dark tones. Encased in a massive 38mm x 45mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel "Defy" case, this model represents the bold, avant-garde design language of the era. It is powered by the legendary Caliber 3019 PHC. The dial features distinctive large overlapping silver sub-registers, a date window at 4:30, and fluted hour markers, often paired with a striking red "lollipop" chronograph hand.
