Item Description
Vintage Zenith Swiss Open-Face Pocket Watch –
Professionally Serviced
We are delighted to offer this exceptional example of a
vintage mid-century Zenith pocket watch, dating from the late 1930s to early
1940s. Housed in a robust open-face case, this timepiece represents the peak
era of classic Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
Crucially, this watch has been freshly overhauled and fully
serviced by the specialist horologists at The Clock Workshop in West Kirby. It
runs beautifully, winds smoothly, and keeps excellent time, offering the next
owner total peace of mind without the immediate worry of costly maintenance
fees.
Design and Dial Presentation
The dial on this piece is outstanding. The original light
cream or off-white surface presents in beautiful condition with no hairlines,
spiderweb cracking, or enamel chips. It features highly stylized, Art Deco
inspired Arabic numerals and fine minute tracking around the outer edge.
The original hands remain beautifully intact. The hours hand
and the small sub-dial seconds hand at the 6 o'clock position are in excellent
condition. The minutes hand shows some authentic, time-aged patina which adds
wonderful historical character and confirms the dial components remain original
to the watch. The crystal is remarkably clear, showing only minor
micro-hairlines under close scrutiny.
Movement and Mechanics
Beneath the case back rests a beautifully preserved,
high-grade Zenith manual-wind movement, Zenith Calibre 19-34-3-T, stamped with
the historic serial number 157735. The movement plates feature a striking
frosted gold gilt finish that remains clean and bright. The screw heads are
crisp, the gears operate effortlessly, and the balance wheel oscillates freely.
A regulator index sits proudly above the balance wheel to allow fine tuning
adjustments.
Case Dimensions and Condition Report
The pocket watch is cased in a silver-toned base metal alloy
with an elegant perlage (engine-turned) finish decorating the inside of the
case back.
The overall cosmetic state of this piece is exceptional
given its age. The case back is in excellent order. There are some minor, light
surface scratches on the bezel near the crown area which are entirely
consistent with historical use and pocket wear. As is standard for timepieces
of this vintage, it is not pressure tested and not sold as water resistant. Crystal is remarkably clean and clear. No noticeable scratches.
Summary of Value
This is a premium, collector-grade pocket watch backed by
the security of a fresh, local brick-and-mortar horological service. Presented
by an established Top Seller, it is an ideal addition to any military-era or
Swiss horology collection.
