Description

Gents 9ct gold Zodiac wrist watch, 1959.

The watch has a calibre 721 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Zodiac name.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the screw-on case back for Birmingham 1959. This is a heavy case and is the Aquatite model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, marketed at the time as a water proof case although, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The case has minor surface marks, and a couple of scratches to the case back where a tool has slipped in the past. There is a 1959 long service inscription to the back of the watch.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has been professionally re-finished at some stage in its life. Original hands and seconds sweep (the movement has hacking).

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1950s.
