Zenith - Elite Automatic Diver - 02.0210.462 - Men - 1990-1999

This Zenith diver represents a fascinating transitional period in the brand's history—produced during the early 1990s when Zenith was rebuilding after their near-collapse in the 1980s. These watches bridged the gap between the De Luca collection and the later Rainbow series that arrived mid-decade.

The reference 02.0210.462 is notably scarce, with collectors recognizing it as one of the earlier Zenith divers from this era. What makes this period significant is that Zenith was still utilizing high-grade ETA movements before fully transitioning to in-house calibers. The 1990-1994 period represents the last of the "pre-luxury boom" era—watches made for enthusiasts before the speculative market explosion of the 2000s.
