Zenith - No reserve price - Men - 1900-1949
A beautiful vintage Zenith with a strong military-style / field watch presence: clean legibility, a balanced dial layout and a practical 34 mm case that wears perfectly for a mid-century watch.
The standout feature is the Roman numeral dial with circular cartouches, paired with a crisp small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock—a classic, purposeful layout often seen on utilitarian watches from the era. The overall look is understated and functional, with a clear minute track for easy reading.
Inside sits a Zenith-signed manual-wind movement with attractive gilt finish, and the inner caseback is stamped “FOND ACIER INOXYDABLE – ZENITH”, confirming stainless-steel construction.
A great choice for collectors who like vintage watches with a clean, instrument-like aesthetic, without flashy elements.
