For sale is a Swiss Made Zenith Captain, a vintage automatic watch with Chronometer certification. It features a stunning and somewhat special "space age" style 38mm case in high polish finish. The case is lovingly referred to as "la tortue" or the tortoise, since it somewhat resembles the domed shape of a turtle shell. The dial is finished in a glossy grey finish with shiny steel non-numeral indices. A date window can be found between the four and five position, and can be quick-set by changing between the 18:20-24h position. The hands are finished in polished steel with black spine.
The watch is powered by a high quality Zenith 2552 PC movement, an automatic caliber with chronometer specification. It has been freshly serviced, and is working like a charm. The crown does not bear the Zenith logo so it's hard to say if it's original, but it does fit perfectly with the case and finish. An black leather strap with original Zenith buckle comes fitted to the watch, ready to wear.
The example sold here has most likely been worn before, but there are almost no indications of this. The watch is in very good condition considering its age, with only minor marks to the highly glossy case. The case is unpolished and therefore in original shape, and the crystal is still in great condition too. The dial looks pristine too, with no real deterioration to speak of. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been serviced prior to sale and is working perfectly. It comes with a brand new dark blue leather strap, ready to wear.
The watch comes without any paperwork or original box, but evidently we will provide a generic box to ship it to the buyer safe and sound. The item ships from Belgium and will be securely packaged and dispatched using the local postal service (BPost).
