Dealer description — Vintage Watch Specialist

A Very Stylish Zenith with a Beautiful Grey Dial and Stylish Applied Furniture and Calendar Feature, Model Ref: 01.1310.380, c.1975 Founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Zenith is renowned for its precision watchmaking and innovative spirit. The brand is best known for developing the El Primero movement in 1969, one of the first high-frequency automatic chronographs, capable of measuring time to 1/10th of a second. Over its long history, Zenith has built a reputation for technical excellence, timeless design, and a commitment to traditional Swiss craftsmanship. What's on Offer This beautifully unique vintage Zenith, circa 1975, is a wonderful example of the brand’s understated yet distinctive 70s design language. The striking textured grey dial boasts applied polished metal furniture comprising baton hour markers with luminous pips, paired with slim stick hands featuring luminous inserts for easy legibility. A discreet date aperture rests neatly between 4 and 5 o’clock, while the classic Zenith signature takes pride of place at 12 o’clock. The dial sits beneath a shatterproof Plexiglas crystal and is housed in a brushed stainless-steel case that has aged gracefully over more than 50 years, showing only minor signs of careful wear. We’ve paired this timepiece with a bold grey leather strap, creating a strong colour-blocking effect that really makes this Zenith stand out on the wrist. Powered by the reliable Zenith Calibre 2572 PC automatic movement, this is a superb opportunity to own a piece of horological history with enduring style and functionality.
