Zenith – Small Seconds | Vintage Swiss Mechanical Watch (1960s) Jumbo 37 mm Stainless Steel Case | Classic Elegance & Heritage This authentic vintage Zenith Small Seconds from the 1960s is a refined expression of Swiss watchmaking at its most elegant. Featuring a large 37 mm stainless steel “jumbo” case—impressive for its era—this timepiece perfectly balances vintage proportions with strong wrist presence. Zenith’s dedication to precision and understated luxury is clearly visible in every detail of this classic model. The watch showcases a beautifully aged silver dial with applied gold-tone Arabic numerals and faceted hour markers, complemented by slim dauphine-style hands. The small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock adds symmetry and a touch of traditional horological charm, a signature feature of many high-end mid-century dress watches. The dial displays a gentle, even patina consistent with age, enhancing its authenticity and character. Housed under a domed acrylic crystal, the watch is powered by a Swiss mechanical Zenith movement, manually wound, renowned for reliability and precision. The case back bears the original engraved serial number, visible in the photos, confirming its originality and period correctness. The long, elegant lugs and polished steel case lines reflect Zenith’s classic design language of the 1960s. The watch is fitted with a generic black leather strap, suitable for a wrist up to 21 cm, ensuring comfortable wear. Water resistance is untested, as expected for a vintage piece, and the watch is offered in Grade B+ condition, showing light signs of use fully consistent with its age and careful wear over decades.
