Zenith - 3004623 - 1900-1949

Overview
Ez egy Zenith mechanikus zsebóra, erős klasszikus karakterrel és a korai svájci óragyártás jellegzetes bájával. A fehér zománc számlap complementált a sikkes, hosszúkás fekete arab számokkal, korabeli stílusú mutatókkal és 6 óránál egy kis másodperces számlappal, ami tágas és szépen kiegyensúlyozott megjelenést teremt. A finoman guilloché hátlap és a természetes patina tovább fokozza a vezető antik jellegét. Leginkább vonzó elemei a neves Zenith név, a elegáns, nagy méretű zománc számlap és a hagyományos svájci kézművesség, amit a 15-jegyű járás, a kompenzált balansz és a Breguet spirál képvisel.
