Story & Heritage Founded in 1922 in Basel, Switzerland, Zeno has long been appreciated by collectors for producing reliable Swiss mechanical watches with distinctive character and honest craftsmanship. While the brand is particularly known for aviation and military-inspired models, vintage Zeno watches from the late 1960s and 1970s are increasingly appreciated for their bold design language and unique dial configurations. This particular example is a beautiful representation of that era. The cushion case reflects the strong geometric aesthetics of the 1970s, while the vibrant red dial gives the watch a bold and uncommon personality rarely seen in vintage Swiss dress watches. At a time when many manufacturers experimented with daring colors and shapes, Zeno created watches that balanced style, functionality, and mechanical reliability. This piece embodies that spirit perfectly. More than just a timepiece, this Zeno represents an era of creativity and bold Swiss design—a true vintage watch with individuality and charm. An excellent opportunity for collectors of rare vintage Swiss watches, retro design enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a standout piece with genuine character. Internal Reference Number - ITA 143
