 ZENITH
 MILITARY SWISS WRISTWATCH

 The subject of this review is an interesting collectible specimen of the men’s timepiece ZENITH from the WWII period, which was made by one of the oldest and prestigious watch manufacturing companies in the Swiss industry. This unique military watch was used in military German Army.
This timepiece with a manual wind features a new professionally updated black dial that was made in military style. The new dial features a 60 minute checkered outer track border, easily readable Arabic figures of the simple shape in the military style, Breguet-style hands with luminescent eyes and an index register for the seconds. The dial is signed ‘ZENITH’.
This watch has a four-piece, double hinged case that was made especially for the military watch to protect the mechanism from dust and debris and to provide an extra layer of protection from shock or moisture. The existence of an inner dust cover lid is a good sign of a quality watch. The inside of the outer case lid is stamped logo of ZENITH, inscription ‘METAL BLANC – GARANTI’ and case reference number #4921291 - 2797.
Watches of this model are widely known; they have won the Grand Prix at the Paris watch exhibition in 1900. On the inner lid there is a corresponding inscription.
This mechanical watch has signed original movement that was very well saved and is in a good status. The serial number of the movement is #1.371.017.
This watch was converted to wristwatch. This was quite common at the beginning of XX century, as it became “fashionable” and comfortable for men to wear wristwatches.

 Diameter watch:          49 mm
Thickness watch:         13 mm

In spite of the fact that watch has passed the whole war, it is in excellent working condition. It well holds time, considering age of this watch. You can see that the owner has valued it very much and cared. Notice! Buying this watch, you buy not just a watch, and a history particle. Who knows, perhaps this watch was with the German pilot near Moscow in 1941, or with the tank-officer under Stalingrad in 1942. And it is possible the staff officer had this watch in Berlin in 1945.
