A fine example of a 1960’s large stainless steel gents dress watch by Zenith (Swiss), this exquisite piece has been professionally inspected and regulated in-house by Localtime but also by our watchmaker and is thus ready to join your collection!

The stainless steel case (36mm or 38.50mm counting the crown at 3h) measures 42mm L2L, has a classy thickness of 11.25mm 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 white dial with its boxed date window at 4h30 and metal indices are simply classy. The metal Zenith star at 12 reminds us why it is known as ‘Stellina’ among collectors (it means little star in Italian). It is carrying an automatic Zenith Cal. 2542 PC with 25j with a serial number dating it to 1968 (SN#6531292). It is now wearing Ref. 995610 Hermes-Style calf leather straps in black colour by Campagnolo Italy (they are also listed separately in the 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.

Photography: We photograph with our 10+ year old  compact camera and/or smartphone, most times both inside and outside our shop, in natural lighting. We do not use a studio, specialised lighting, filters or DSLR cameras. We are not professional photographers and we do realize that sometimes we do not manage to fully capture the actual beauty of these loverly timepieces.
