Points of Mention

This watch is sold as "Watch Only" and, therefore, comes with no original Zenith box or Zenith paperwork. It comes paired with an 18mm vintage-style aftermarket leather strap and pin buckle. The watch is from Circa 1970s and is in used worn condition, but overall, it is in fair vintage condition, as you can see from the photographs. Scratches are to be expected to the original glass on the watch. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

On the right side is a signed coin-edged crown, and the polished scalloped bezel holds a domed crystal. The attractive grey Fumé dial has an outer minute track with Tritium plots at the hour, applied steel cube indexes with a prominent ridge pattern marking the hours, adding interest and dimension to the dial,  and at 4.30, we have a date window. Steel sword hands have Tritium infill complemented by a counterweighted sweeping second-hand; at 12 o’clock, the Zenith motif “ Automatic” underneath and at 6 o’clock “, Defy” completes this attractive sporty, unapologetically 1970s timepiece. On the reverse is a screw-down case back with an embossed Zenith star in the centre, inside an automatic Zenith Cal. 2552 PC, 23 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour; this movement was produced in 1968 until 1971, and it comes paired with its 18mm vintage style aftermarket leather strap and pin buckle.
