Overview
A classic ZENITH Swiss mechanical pocket watch featuring a white dial with highly decorative black Arabic numerals, blued-style hands and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The distinctive Zenith five-pointed star appears prominently above the brand name, while an additional 13–24 hour scale around the outer section of the dial adds visual depth and period character.
