The Zenith "De Luca" got its name from the brand’s main distributor in Italy, who seems to have been involved in the design of this chronograph. The "De Luca" comes in two versions: with a black with white sub-dials or with a white dial with black subsidiary dials, such as this timepiece. Zenith produced the "De Luca" from 1988 to 1996.
This model is the 3rd model of the De Luca I version and was produced within only two years, from 1990 to 1992, in a quantity of 580 pieces.
