Zenith Pocket Watch, Turkish Railways, 1969

Zenith pocket watch, Turkish Railways, 1969

The watch has a 177T hand-winding movement which is working nicely. This movement was in production from 1965 until 1968, and the serial number 6,901,141 dates this specific watch to 1969.

The movement is protected by an inner cover which is signed Zenith together with images of medals and the date of 1865, the year Zenith was founded. There is a little scratching to this inner cover.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is nickel and it has the raised image of a locomotive to the reverse, along with the crescent moon and star, the symbol on the national flag of Turkey, and also the logo of Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devlet Demiryollari, the Turkish State Railways. The case is in lovely condition.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed Zenith and again TC Devlet Demiryollari, Turkish State Railways. It is in beautiful condition with Breguet style numbers and original hands plus an outer 24 hour dial.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
