Zenith 1200 — Mid‑Century Dress Watch
A slim Zenith 1200 from the 1960s, presented on a 34 mm stainless‑steel case with a silver dial featuring applied baton markers and dauphine hands. The period‑correct acrylic crystal and compact proportions underline its mid‑century dress watch character. At its heart sits Zenith’s in‑house Cal. 40T, a hand‑wound, 17‑jewel movement that has been freshly serviced (20.09.2025). For the modern wearer or collector seeking a classic, wearable vintage piece, this watch combines restrained design and a dependable, service‑documented movement for everyday enjoyment.
