Not only is it rare to find a chronograph complication in a diver’s watch, the contrast between the orange handset and grey dial is also hard to resist.

Zenith did not leave anything to chance when developing the reference A3736. It turned to the very best suppliers: Piquerez for the waterproof case, and Martel for the chronograph caliber (note that Martel was also providing movements to Universal Genève until Zenith purchased the company). Yet, Zenith did not stop there and really reached a superb balance of design between the funky orange handset, and the restrained grey dial and inner bezel. On the wrist, this chronograph definitely makes a strong case for wearing more square watches.This is a beauty. It is very rare to find a watch this old with Zenith box. Defiantly a collector watch. Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description. The watch is working and Serviced by the last owner. This is a highly collectible watch. Very few left with this rare movement. Sure, to increase in value overtime, and a great addition to your collection. The condition of the watch is the same as it appears in the photos.   The watch is working and is part of our new Certified Pre-Owned CPO Program.  Contact me if you have any questions first.
