Supplied by A. Cairelli of Rome, the historic contractor for \n      the Italian Armed Forces, it was specifically developed for pilots of the Italian Air Force and today \n      stands among the most iconic military watches of the twentieth century.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Produced around 1970, the CP-2 features an imposing 43 mm stainless steel case, exceptionally large \n      for its era and designed to provide maximum legibility during flight operations. Its matte black dial \n      with large luminous Arabic numerals and highly contrasted chronograph registers ensures outstanding \n      readability under all operating conditions.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Powering the watch is the renowned Zenith Caliber 146 DP, a robust and reliable manual-winding \n      chronograph movement derived from the legendary Martel chronograph architecture used in Zenith’s \n      professional instruments. The rotating bezel further enhances the watch’s functionality, allowing \n      pilots to track additional elapsed times during navigation and mission planning.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Out of approximately 2,500 examples produced, genuine military-issued watches are particularly \n      sought after today. This example bears the original A.M.I. (Aeronautica Militare Italiana – Italian \n      Air Force) military engraving followed by its inventory number, confirming its authentic military \n      provenance. The caseback retains the correct military assignment markings.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Combining exceptional wrist presence, historical significance, and increasing rarity, the Zenith Cairelli \n      CP-2 remains one of the most desirable and important vintage military chronographs available to collectors today.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zenith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54534493110595,"sku":null,"price":12500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5955\/4627\/files\/DSC06770.jpg?v=1780913176","url":"https:\/\/andreafoffi.com\/it\/products\/zenith-italian-military-chronograph-cairelli-type-cp-2-ref-146-dp-1970s","provider":"Andrea Foffi - Vintage watches dealer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
