1970’s ZENITH (Swiss) Ref. 01.1650.380 Blue Sunburst Dial Steel Automatic Dress Watch – 17j Zenith Cal. 2572 PC

A stunning example of a 1970’s stainless steel gents dress watch by Zenith (Swiss) with an exquisite blue sunburst dial, it has been professionally inspected in-house here at Localtime and is ready to wear or join your collection. The large solid stainless steel case (34mm or 36.50mm counting the logoed crown at 3h) measures 40mm L2L, has a super handsome thickness of 11.50mm and has been professionally cleaned but not polished, to maintain its original integrity. It is in a lovely vintage condition and is a very classy looker on the wrist. The dial is simply classy. It is carrying an automatic Zenith Cal. 2572 PC with 17j. It is wearing one of my own Poletto Cinturini (Italy) genuine iguana straps in dark blue colour that fits the dial like a glove. You can see the line of these lovely straps (which come in more than 20 colours)  in the last photo and they are also sold separately in our store.

As with all the watches we handle in-house, the listed buy-it-now price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
