ZENITH
"EL PRIMERO " AND RECENTLY CLEANED AND SERVICED! RARE WATCH FOR SURE ,
YEAR 1969
STOCK NUMBER #ZENITH6600-----1969
is the year this genuine Zenith automatic El Primero wrist watch was produced
and it is a rare bird indeed. This movement was also used in the Daytona Rolexes
years gone past. "El Primero" means in Spanish "The First" as in the first
automatic chronograph date watch produced. Case reference is A-178 the dial is a
"Bordeaux" 100% original never touch Zenith dial. Please notice the date is at
the 5 position. This case is with a sapphire crystal back and of coarse the sapphire crystal is flawless. This Zenith case is with a screw down water tight crown. The total
length not including the generic steel bracelet is 46mm long and without the
screw down crown it is 40mm wide so indeed it is a man's size piece. The hands
are also original and never touched at all. The movement is clean and serviced
as it does keep incredible accurate time. There are 31 clean Ruby jewels to this
El Primero movement and as the see through sapphire crystal shows you it is
automatic as indicated before. All functions click and coordinate
perfectly and the sweep hand flays back to 12 pm perfectly and right down the
middle. This movement is a fast beat at 36.000 vibrations, incredible isn't it!.
The metal bracelet is nothing special but I feel it compliments the watch and
again it is unsigned. This one is all good indeed and a highly sought after time
piece.

The new caliber 3019 "EL PRIMERO" was presented to the press by ZENITH, January
10, 1969 while the competitor project will wait until on March 3. In its version
of origin. . The history of El Primero
which had stopped in the years quartz failed according to the legend to be
completed at the end of the Seventies and it would be thanks to a clock and
watch maker of ZENITH, disobeying the orders of the American owners of the time. El Primero could have one second chance when after
ROLEX was interested in El Primero at the end of the Eighties and ensured ZENITH
an order book which justified to start again manufacture of it. If ZENITH in
addition diffused some specimens of its caliber to some re-elected marks, it is
the crowned brand which was the engine of the revival. ROLEX
wished to make
modifications to this caliber of high technology to adapt it to the schedule of
conditions of its model DAYTONA but ZENITH fell under the continuity of
the challenge launched in 1962 and improved its mythical movement by making it
profit from new technologies of production and by continuing some the
developments. which indeed, acquired the mark in its clock making pole in
1999 in particular with dimensions of Tag Heuer is engaged in the daring
industrial bet to start again ZENITH whose growing old image did not emphasize
the quality of the watches of the mark. ZENITH had the knowledge to make clock
making but encountered difficulties of letting it know. It was necessary
moreover to invest in the production equipment if not neglected by the preceding
owners at least insufficiently developed since a generation in front of an
increasingly hard competition. Conscious of having acquired a jewel of the clock
industry, LVMH required of Thierry Nataf to take up the double challenge on the
one hand, to vacuum-clean the image of ZENITH and to reposition the brand and on
the other Tourbillions, Open models, power reserve indicator, big date, split
second are the complications which came to transform, supplement and perfect
this movement of exception. The clock and watch makers of ZENITH could not have
anticipated that the brand would be able someday to give a new life to its
caliber El Primero. Imagination is without limits. El Primero is today on the
front of the scene of which it dominates the family of the chronograph calibers.
With its 30 mms in diameter for 6,5 mm of thickness and only 7,55 mm for the
version with triple day of the month with instantaneous jump, this movement with column wheel is one of most powerful on the market. It does not include
less than 354 parts including 227 different in the most complicated version, has
41 screws and 31 rubies, and requires more than 50 points of lubrication. The
caliber requires nine months of work in cumulated time, request for 5 to 50
operations per part, imposes 50 millings of various dimensions on the side of
the bridges. Twenty clock and watch makers are put at contribution for a
movement and not less than 18 metals are employed. The EL Primero remains the
only movement able to measure short times with the tenth of a second. Its "split
second" version is its last great evolution but certainly not the last, and its
history seems to have beautiful days in it. any way you look at it , nothing
fits gently on ones wrist as an old watch.

NOW FOR MORE SERIOUS MATTERS; IF I MAY HAVE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME,
PLEASE READ BELOW :-)
Did you know that in
Canada over 40,000 people die each year from sudden heart attacks in a
population of aprox 31,000,000? Did you know over 90% of these can be prevented
with a simple blood test and an EKG Stress test? Did you know they are painless
and non evasive and can be done in a clinic in case you are afraid of hospitals.
Heart disease doesn't have to be a serious problem and can be avoided with a
good diet, regular exercise, weight control (great for lowering your blood
pressure), and most important, prevention. The average blood pressure is 120/80,
over 140 is considered to be borderline high and should be checked frequently. There
is a condition called "white coat syndrome" which means your blood pressure taken
at a doctor's office can be a "bit high" only due to the fact being in a doctor's
office is sometimes nerve racking to the patient.
Your blood pressure should be checked a few times by your Doctor before he, or
she, can tell you the mean average. There are NO symptoms to high blood pressure
and without angina (chest pain) there really are no symptoms for "clogged
Arteries either" which I found out the hard way and this is an important fact. Take
it from me, I ALMOST became a statistic. No pain, no symptoms what's so ever,
but preventive care caught this problem in time thanks to
www.cardiogenix.ca here in
Montreal!
This story is not about me but for you! We are getting older, we are
getting smarter, and Cardiology can do wonderful things
in this day and age. It's not doom and gloom at all as most of us think. I want you to come to my
pages every year safe and sound.
Get a check up do the right thing for your family
if not for yourself.
With prevention heart disease is not a killer, but rather a small bump on
life's road.
