About the Zenith Automatic:
Founded in Le Locle, Switzerland, in 1865, Zenith developed a reputation for precision mechanical movements and became one of the established Swiss watch manufacturers of the 20th century. Alongside its chronographs, Zenith produced automatic dress watches distinguished by restrained design and fine mechanical construction.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Zenith offered gold dress watches with slim cases, applied baton hour markers, and automatic movements. This example reflects that mid-century design through its 35mm round case, ivory dial, narrow bezel, and simple three-hand layout.
The 18K gold bracelet adds a substantial precious-metal presence, bringing the total weight to approximately 82 grams while retaining the watch's classic mid-century proportions.
