Boxed 1983 ZENITH (Swiss) 18k Solid Gold Case Formal Dress Watch – Quartz With Date

A classic and stunning  gents dress watch by Zenith (Swiss), this exquisite watch, has been professionally inspected in-house by Localtime but also by our watchmaker and is thus ready to join your collection! It has had a fresh battery installed and is working like a charm.

The 18k solid yellow gold case (33.50mm or 35.50mm counting the logoed crown at 3h) measures 39.50mm L2L, has a super classy thickness of 9mm 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 and gold metal stick indices are simply classy. It is wearing one of my own tejus-grain lizard leather straps in burgundy as it matched the lovely champagne-coloured dial but also its original box! These lovely straps are also listed separately for sale in the store. The watch comes in its original Zenith box which is in great condition and makes a lovely gift box. As a presentation watch, it has an inscription on the caseback, which gives it an interesting history.  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.
