Zenith - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a Zenith open-face mechanical pocket watch with a clean and classic Swiss vintage appearance. The white dial features bold black Arabic numerals, an outer 13 to 24 hour scale, and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, giving the watch a clear, balanced, and traditional layout.
Zenith is a well-regarded classic Swiss watch brand, and this piece has strong appeal not only because of the brand, but also because of its traditional pocket watch design. The large numerals, 24-hour outer scale, small seconds dial, and signed Zenith movement together create a very complete antique pocket watch character. The most notable highlights are the Zenith brand, the 24-hour outer scale, and the signed Zenith mechanical movement.
