What am I looking at ? Hand wound from when ? Beautiful piece .

60s ?

Nice pickup. Pretty!

Real gem 👍🏻

I'd settle for one in worse condition. Excellent watch sir!

Congrats on such a beautiful watch. Amazing movement, great history to it, peak Zenith. A vintage must have for sure.

It is a well-known vintage piece, just search around for Zenith 135 :)

Found an excellent article on monochrome. Was hoping you could say more about that specific piece

Not much to say, the pics speak themselves ... years ago I have found another example but not in this great condition, so I passed it to a very avid vintage collector.

35mm with small seconds?

Watch perfection. ❤️

Second run - probably early 1950s, at a guess, as the movement is gold plated but has serial 421xxxxx

it is transition between the 1st and 2nd generation... I love the gold-plated movements more than the latter ones

That’s lovely

·

Congratulations on a gorgeous watch!

·

There is more than one grail?

·

Very lovely.

A handsome watch. I appreciate the care you took to capture the dial in photo #2!

·

Love this!

·

Really nice!

a lot more than one, unfortunately :)

for example, I am hunting a vintage Longines Conquest with power reserve in such condition...

·

Congratulations it’s beautiful 🤩

·

This is a beutiful piece. I never knew Zenith actually marketed this prior to the revised limited edition by Kari Voutilainen.

·

Stunner! Absolutely perfect execution of a subseconds and beautiful movement!
