In the mid 1970s the company's American owners ordered the movement discontinued and the tooling destroyed. Charles Vermot, a watchmaker at the Le Locle factory, carried the presses and cams up to the attic and walled them in. They came back down in 1984, and the caliber has been in continuous production since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the Chronomaster in 38mm 18k rose gold. The dial is silver sunray with the tri-color registers the movement has carried since 1969, anthracite and blue and grey, with a tachymeter scale printed on the flange. The indexes are applied, the hands are faceted and filled with Super-LumiNova, and the central chronograph seconds hand is counterweighted with the Zenith star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside is the El Primero cal. 400 B, 278 components, 31 jewels, 36,000 vph, roughly 50 hours of reserve, with running seconds, a 30 minute counter, a 12 hour counter, and a date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis example comes with its box on a fresh Zenith strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good, light marks consistent with normal wear.
