Estimated production period
Estimated production period: around the 2000s.
Reference 01.0125.650 appears for examples from the 2000s and was offered for several years. Without dated documentation for this specific piece, an exact production year cannot be determined.
──────────────────
Case
The case is finished in polished stainless steel and measures 37 mm in diameter. Due to the relatively thin construction and the elongated, slightly curved lugs, the watch presents a classic and elegant appearance.
The polished surfaces show light wear and fine hairlines that are consistent with normal wear. On the case and case back there are some clearer superficial scratches in places, but no noticeable deep dents.
The smooth, slim bezel keeps the focus on the large, calm dial.
──────────────────
Dial
The silver/white dial has a very restrained design.
Applied are polished Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o’clock, alternated with faceted hour indices. A fine black minute scale runs along the outer edge.
Under 12 o’clock is the brand name ZENITH. Above 6 o’clock sits the decorative designation “Elite HW”.
The dial appears well kept. Inscriptions, indices and the minute track are crisp and easy to read.
──────────────────
Small seconds
At 9 o’clock there is a recessed small-seconds dial with a scale up to 60 seconds.
As a result the watch has no central seconds hand. The asymmetrical placement of the small seconds and the date window forms a distinctive feature of this Elite HW variation.
──────────────────
Date
At 3 o’clock there is a separate date window with an outlined surround.
The date is shown in black on a light background and remains easily legible without disrupting the calm look of the dial.
──────────────────
Movement
Caliber: Zenith Elite 650
Type: mechanical manual winding
Frequency: 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour / 4 Hz
Jewels: 26
Power reserve: approx. 48 hours
Functions: hours, minutes, small seconds and date
The Elite 650 belongs to Zenith’s slim mechanical Elite calibers. By omitting an automatic rotor, the overall case can be kept relatively slim.
The movement is wound daily or as needed via the crown.
──────────────────
Timegrapher measurement
Rate deviation: −7 seconds per day
Amplitude: 270°
Beat error: 0.0 ms
Lift angle: 52.0°
Frequency: 28,800 A/h
The measured rate deviation is about −7 seconds per day in the tested position.
This measurement is a momentary snapshot in one position and does not constitute a guarantee for daily accuracy, service state, or future technical condition of the movement.
──────────────────
Crystal
The watch is equipped with sapphire crystal.
The crystal appears clear and the dial is easily visible. No notable heavy damage to the crystal is present.
──────────────────
Crown
The grooved crown is Zenith-signed and matches the slim case well in size.
Because this is a hand-winding model, the crown is used not only for setting time and date but also for manually winding the movement.
──────────────────
Case back
The closed stainless steel case back features, among other things:
MANUFACTURE ZENITH
STAINLESS STEEL
SWISS MADE
Zenith emblem
Reference 01.0125.650
The back shows several fine signs of wear and hairlines, consistent with normal contact during wear and handling of the watch.
──────────────────
Band
The watch is mounted on a cognac/light brown leather band with crocodile pattern.
The band is not original Zenith.
The band shows normal signs of wear, including slight creasing, discolouration and wear around the used holes. The warm cognac colour forms a classic contrast with the silver case and light dial.
──────────────────
Clasp
The mounted polished tang buckle is also not original Zenith.
The buckle has a simple classical shape and shows light normal signs of wear.
──────────────────
Fit
The current configuration measures to around 20–21 cm on the sizing grommet.
Actual fit may vary slightly depending on the used hole and desired wear clearance.
──────────────────
Water resistance
The model specification is approximately 3 ATM / 30 meters.
With a watch of this age, the current water resistance should not be treated as guaranteed. For contact with water, a current pressure test is recommended.
──────────────────

Case: tidy used condition with light hairlines and superficial scratches
Bezel: light normal signs of wear

──────────────────
Overall condition
An elegant Zenith Elite HW with the classic 37 mm case size, an exceptionally slim construction, and the hand-wound Zenith Elite 650 caliber. The silver/white dial, small seconds and date provide a calm yet distinctive layout.
The watch is in neat used condition with normal signs of wear on the polished case and back. The cognac leather band and buckle are not original Zenith and show signs of use. The measured rate deviation is about −7 seconds per day with an amplitude of 270° and a beat error of 0.0 ms.
