Description from the seller
This appears to be a vintage Zenith wristwatch, likely dating from the late 1930s to early 1950s. Here are a few observations based on the photo:
• Brand: Zenith (the logo style is consistent with mid-20th-century production).
• Dial: A two-tone “sector” or “scientific” style dial with a black chapter ring and applied Arabic numerals.
• Small seconds: Subdial at 6 o’clock, indicating a manual-wind movement.
• Case: Chrome-plated or stainless steel (hard to confirm from the photo alone).
• Lugs: Long, elegant lugs characteristic of watches from the 1940s.
• Hands: Thin leaf or baton-style hands that appear appropriate for the period.
Condition
From the image:
• The dial has developed an attractive cream patina, which many collectors prefer if it’s original.
• The case shows polishing and some wear but remains presentable.
• The crystal has noticeable scratches.
• The strap is modern and not original, which is common and doesn’t significantly affect value.
Possible value
Originality is critical with these watches—an untouched dial is generally worth much more than a refinished one.
Functional!
