About this watch

The Zenith El Primero Striking 10th Chronograph, reference 18.2040.4052/21.C496, is an exceptional pre-owned luxury watch that showcases Zenith’s mastery of high-frequency chronograph movements. Produced in a limited edition of 500 pieces, this model stands out for its unique ability to measure 1/10th of a second with remarkable precision.

The 42 mm case is crafted from 18K rose gold, offering a warm and luxurious presence on the wrist. It is paired with a refined leather strap, enhancing its elegant and timeless appeal. The silver dial features a clean and sophisticated layout, with three chronograph sub-dials and a dedicated central hand completing one full rotation every 10 seconds, allowing for precise tenth-of-a-second readings. Applied hour markers and polished hands ensure excellent legibility while maintaining a balanced aesthetic.

At its heart lies the Zenith El Primero calibre 4052B automatic chronograph movement, a high-frequency calibre beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. This advanced movement enables the Striking 10th function and delivers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours, reflecting Zenith’s long-standing expertise in precision watchmaking.

This certified pre-owned Zenith El Primero is presented in very good condition, with light signs of wear consistent with careful use. It is offered as a full set, including its original box and papers, ensuring authenticity and strong collector appeal.

A rare and technically impressive pre-owned luxury watch, this limited edition Striking 10th is an outstanding choice for collectors seeking innovation, precision, and refined design.
