Notes
Very similar to the Zenith, the Universal Cairelli is much rarer. With the exact same size in 43 mm, this example was retailed by Cairelli in Rome (like all Zenith CP2) and was issued to the AMI ( Aeronautica Militare Italiana). One of the most desirable military issued oversize chronographs on the market.
