Remarkable Original Zenith 1200 40t Chronometer Grade Mens Watch with Box C1960

1940 - 1960
Description

This is an extraordinary example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Zenith.

The watch is the 1200 with the chronometer grade 40.T 17 jewel movement, regarded as one of the finest manual movements ever made by any company and as you can see it is in fabulous condition.

The original silver starburst dial is in superb unrestored condition, it retains its original winding crown and buckle with the Zenith logo on them. A new glass has been fitted and the case has been professionally polished so it is in superb condition.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

It comes complete with a new premium quality black leather strap and its original presentation box to keep your watch in perfect condition.

Zenith are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

The watch case is measures 34mm in diameter not including the crown.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition and highly sought after by Zenith collectors, indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn and to find a watch in this superb original condition is rare indeed.

The watch has been fully serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Zenith in all respects. It has been professionally overhauled and serviced, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.

It is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers parts. Each part is then thoroughly cleaned in a three stage ultrasonic cleaning process.

The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturers approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and sealed.

Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give you reliable and dependable service and will not require further service for many years.
