A Charismatic and Well-Preserved Vintage Zenith Dress Watch With An Automatic Bumper Movement, c.1953
Zenith Watches, a name synonymous with innovation and precision, has carved its niche in the horological world since its inception in 1865. Founded by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle, Switzerland, Zenith quickly distinguished itself through the quality and accuracy of its timepieces. The brand’s commitment to excellence was evident when it introduced the El Primero in 1969, the world’s first integrated automatic chronograph movement that boasted an unprecedented frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.
What’s on offer
This Zenith watch is in beautiful vintage condition with a stunning tropical dial, for those who appreciate patina, this is a joy. The dial is furnished with applied gilt Arabic numerals and alternate arrowhead hour markers with luminous inserts. The Dauphine hands, also have luminous inserts. A central seconds needle hand in blood red completes the dial which is protected by shatterproof Plexiglas and encased in Stainless steel.
The watch is powered by the Zenith Bumper Movement calibre 133.8, a type of automatic movement that uses a rotating weight, or rotor, to wind the mainspring. The rotor is attached to a pivot, which allows it to swing back and forth within a limited arc and a bump is sometimes heard when it hits a spring at each side of the arc.
