ZENITH El Primero 3019PHC 1970s
Tax Excluded
ゼニスを代表するクロノグラフムーブメントであり、時計の名にもなっているエル・プリメロ。
70年代前半に生産されたこの時計は渋いダイアルデザインと36.5mmという小ぶりなトノー型ケースが特徴的。一見すると地味ですが、分かる人には分かる、そんな1本です。
1865年創業のゼニスはムーブメントを自社で生産するマニュファクチュールの1つ。
1969年に発表され、世界初の自動巻きクロノグラフの1つである「エル・プリメロ」はムーブメントの名前がそのまま製品名となっています。エル・プリメロはエスペラント語で「第一の」を意味するEl Primeroを意味します。(英語では The First)
同時期に発表されたセイコーは価格の低さ、ホイヤーのムーブメントは生産性を意識したものでしたがエル・プリメロは10分の1秒まで計測できる精緻さと50時間というパワーリザーブを兼ね備えた高級機でした。
オリジナルの復刻、ルパン三世の次元モデルが発売され話題になったA384というモデルは第1世代(1969-71)に当たります。このモデルは第3世代のエル・プリメロで1973年から75年に4000個のみ生産されました。
それまではダイアルに”Chronograph Automatic”と入っていましたが、この第3世代からは”Automatic”のみとなっています。オメガのCラインケースのようなトノー型のケース、36.5mmというヴィンテージならではのサイズが特徴的です。
「クロノグラフは厚くて大きい」というイメージを良い意味で裏切ってくれるデザインが良いですね。復刻されたファーストモデル(A384)のような派手な配色では無く、地味なダイアルですが分かる人には分かる、そんな時計です。
2020年12月に松野時計店さんにてオーバーホール済み。今回、あえてポリッシュはしておりません。1年保証となります。

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
