Zenith - 3071219 / 3077 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a large and attractive Zenith mechanical pocket watch with the refined character of an early Swiss timepiece. The white enamel style dial features black Arabic numerals, an outer minute track, and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, giving the watch a clear and well balanced appearance. The back cover is decorated with fine engine turning and a central shield shaped cartouche, while the inner dust cover carries detailed technical inscriptions. The main appeal lies in the Zenith name, the 0.800 silver case, the large 52.07 mm size, the 15 jewel movement, the Spiral Breguet marking, and the Grand Prix Paris 1900 and Médaille d’Or Genève 1896 style medal inscriptions.
