Here is a spectacular, all original Zenith Port Royal V from 1998. The black dial is in very fine condition, with a script Zenith and El Primero logo and barely any marks of wear. At the poles there are steel wedge hour markers with lume dots at the outer ends. In between are large luminescent Arabic numeral hour markers. In the chapter ring is a white minute track with red numerals every five minutes. The watch has three subdials: the 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock subdials show chronograph counting minutes and hours respectively while the 9 o’clock subdial shows the running seconds. The syringe hands are in very fine condition. At the typical Zenith position at 4:30 is the date window, where the quick-set silver date is displayed. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The stainless steel bezel is in excellent condition, with barely any marks. The stainless steel case with the original crown and pushers and straight, heavy lugs is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The display case back is in very fine condition, with very light overall wear. The lovely El Primero 400Z movement can be viewed in all its glory through the sapphire glass. The case has been refinished.

The original Zenith bracelet is in very fine condition, tight and solid with little overall wear. It is big enough for moderately large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for these bracelets is very difficult.

Inside the watch, Zenith’s magnificent El Primero 400Z movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in August 2026 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The El Primero movement was groundbreaking as the first automatic chronograph movement ever made, beating a slew of competitors to the finish line while using the at the time insane beat rate of 36000 bph. It has graced many fantastic watches since then, of which this is a great example.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
