Description

This elegant Zenith from the early 1950s embodies the refinement of post-war Swiss watchmaking. Powered by the in-house Calibre 126, a beautifully finished manual movement admired for its reliability and precision, it reflects Zenith’s craftsmanship long before the El Primero era.

The dial retains its original vintage charm with applied gilt numerals, blued hands, and a subtle two-tone finish that plays beautifully in the light. The nickel-plated case with a stainless steel back remains in honest condition, showing only light wear expected of a carefully worn 70-year-old piece.

Fresh from a full professional service in October 2025, this watch winds smoothly and keeps excellent time, ready for daily wear or display in a discerning vintage collection.
