ZENITH El Primero Chronograph – Reference 30.G381.400/21.C807 – Limited Edition of 50 Pieces over HODINKEE – Original Box – Zenith Servic 2026

For sale is an exceptionally rare Zenith El Primero Chronograph, reference 30.G381.400/21.C807, produced as a highly exclusive limited edition of only 50 pieces worldwide sold exclusively through the HODINKEE online shop.

The watch features the unmistakable design language of the El Primero, combining Zenith’s iconic chronograph heritage with the distinctive details created specifically for this limited edition. Its carefully considered dial design, classic chronograph layout, and refined case proportions give the watch a sophisticated yet unmistakably sporty character.

At the heart of this timepiece beats Zenith’s legendary El Primero automatic chronograph movement. Introduced in 1969, the El Primero holds a unique place in watchmaking history as one of the world’s first automatic high-frequency chronograph movements. Its distinctive 5 Hz architecture and 36,000 vibrations per hour have become synonymous with Zenith’s technical heritage and remain a defining characteristic of the collection.

This particular example is especially appealing to collectors due to its extremely limited production of just 50 pieces. The rarity of the edition, combined with the historical significance of the El Primero movement, makes this a compelling addition to any serious Zenith or chronograph collection.

The watch has recently received a full service directly from Zenith, ensuring that the movement has been professionally inspected and serviced by the manufacturer. It is offered with its original presentation box.

This 30.G381.400/21.C807 is accompanied by:

- Original Zenith presentation box

- Sales & Import Paperwork

- Zenith Service Letter with replaced parts, 08.2026
