Points of Mention

This watch is sold as "Watch only" and therefore comes with no original Zenith box or paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original 16mm leather strap. The watch is from Circa. 1977 and is sold in worn unpolished vintage condition, but overall in very fair condition, it still retains some of its original sticker on the case back, as you can see from the photographs. Some signs of wear will be seen. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

The Watch

Here we have a rare 1977 Zenith Manually Wound "Tank" Blue Dial 01.0640.171 with an unpolished 30mm stainless steel “Tank” shaped multi-faceted case that sits on your wrist with flat-ended lugs. Chamfered angled sides create an interesting octagonal profile leading to a lug-to-lug length of 44.5mm and a case thickness of just 6.5mm ensuring a comfortable fit. Brushed sides and polished upper surfaces transition with crisp lines and play with the light as you rotate your wrist. On the right side, a signed crown and a flat crystal follow the contours of the octagonal case above a vertically brushed blue dial. Slender steel batons painted white and Roman 12 and 6 printed in white mark the hours, two elegant slim baton hands painted white complete this sophisticated understated dress watch. At 12 o’clock we have the Zenith motif. On the reverse a snap-off case back which still retains parts of its original sticker, inside a manually wound Zenith Cal. 2320, 17 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour. The watch comes paired with its original 16mm leather strap.
