This Zenith Automatic “Surf” dates to 1972 and exemplifies the shift from mid‑century refinement to early‑70s sporty practicality. The stainless steel 36 mm case and sunburst dial balance everyday wearability with period charm, finished under an acrylic crystal. At its heart the high‑beat Cal. 2562 PC (23 jewels, 28,800 A/h) reflects Zenith’s technical priorities of the era, offering stable regulation and a lively automatic character. For a contemporary collector it is a wearable example of Zenith’s mechanical tradition, offering historically accurate specification and a strong presence on the wrist.
