Description from the seller
Zenith Compur – Vintage manual wind chronograph
Description
Zenith wristwatch, model "Compur", produced probably between the late 1940s and early 1950s. Dial with two sub-dials and tachymetric/telemetric scales.
Working, in good overall condition considering age with the usual signs of wear (slight scratches on the case and screw-down back, small oxidations on the dial, glass with a few surface marks). No long-term functioning guarantee — service recommended by a trusted watchmaker. Sold as seen in the photographs.
