Vintage Zenith Pocket Watch with Chronograph Function
This is a classic vintage Zenith pocket watch featuring a beautiful dial with clear Arabic numerals and a sub-dial layout characteristic of Zenith’s high-quality chronographs. A remarkable collector's piece, this watch embodies the precision and elegance Zenith is known for, paired with a sophisticated design.
Specifications and Features:
- Brand: Zenith
- Movement: Manual wind with visible chronograph mechanics
- Case Material: Likely a replacement case, non-Zenith branded, shows typical vintage wear
- Dial: Clear, easy-to-read dial with prominent Arabic numerals, sub-dials for chronograph functions, and a well-preserved Zenith logo
- Chronograph Function: The chronograph starts, stops, and resets (though not perfectly aligned with the 12 o'clock mark), reflecting the need for potential servicing
-
Condition:
- Mechanical: Operates when laid flat on its cristal (plastic) or sometimes in a vertical position; will require attention to maintain consistent functionality
- Case: The case shows signs of age and use, fitting for a vintage piece, and is noted as non-original
- Dial: Some patina and minor marks consistent with its vintage age, adding to its character
- Sound: Produces a clear ticking sound, a testament to Zenith's craftsmanship
Important Details:
- Condition Notice: Due to its age and functional state, the watch is sold as-is. For reliable daily use and accuracy, a professional service by a watchmaker is recommended.
- Chronograph Functionality: While functional, the chronograph may need realignment or servicing to reset accurately at 12.
- Case Authenticity: The case is likely a replacement and does not bear Zenith branding, which might appeal to some collectors while not affecting the watch's core functionality.
Remarks:
This Zenith pocket watch with chronograph capability is a treasure for vintage watch enthusiasts. While it shows age and the case may not be original, it retains the mechanical integrity and charm of Zenith's heritage. This watch would be a beautiful addition to any collection, especially for those with a passion for classic horology.
