Zenith - Silver Dial.

Trade In
Details

A Foundation In Classic Design

In the 1960s, a decade before the legendary El Primero movement would change the industry, Zenith was focused on producing exceptionally well-made and classically styled timepieces. This watch is a perfect example of that era. It represents the brand's commitment to clean lines, reliable movements, and understated elegance. The case proportions and time-only display are a pure expression of mid-century watch design, where legibility and balance were the ultimate goals.

Rose Gold Accents On A Silver Canvas

What sets this example apart is the thoughtful use of color. The silver dial serves as a clean, neutral background for the warm, contrasting rose dauphine hands and matching hour markers. This combination adds a layer of visual depth and sophistication that is often missing from simpler steel watches of the period. Dauphine hands, with their sharp, faceted shape, were a hallmark of quality mid-century watchmaking, chosen for how they interact with light to improve legibility.

An Honest And Untouched Original

This Zenith is in great cosmetic, untouched condition. The dial has developed some light, even spotting consistent with its age. All key components are original, including the signed Zenith crown, dial, movement, and case back, confirming its integrity. The watch is fitted to an aftermarket brown lizard leather strap that complements the rose gold accents. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Daily Ritual Of A Manual Wind

This is a watch for someone who appreciates the fundamentals. The manual-wind movement creates a direct, physical connection between the owner and the machine, a daily ritual that is lost with modern automatic watches. It is a perfect choice for a first step into vintage collecting, or for the established collector who wants a simple, reliable, and effortlessly stylish piece from one of Switzerland's most respected manufactures.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Dan Young

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
