A Measured Zenith Dress Watch
Vintage Zenith Classic reference 266E087 reflects the restrained dress-watch language of 1966–1975. Its 36 mm gold-plated case frames a white dial with applied gold-tone baton markers and a small seconds register, balancing warmth with clean, measured geometry. Inside, the hand-wound Zenith calibre 2541 continues a traditional mechanical approach, while the signed crown adds a discreet brand-specific detail. For a contemporary collector, the appeal lies in this composed combination of period proportions, manual winding and an uncluttered small-seconds layout.
