Early‑1970s Zenith AutoSport
A crisp example of Zenith’s early‑1970s AutoSport, this cushion‑case watch pairs a period‑correct silver sunburst dial and faceted baton hands with a compact 36 mm steel case. The design reads as restrained sportiness of the era, with a discreet date at 4:30 and a signed crown. Under the screw back sits Zenith’s hi‑beat cal. 2562PC, a robust automatic movement with 23 jewels. Recently serviced (09/2025) and delivered on a leather strap, it offers wearable vintage character and reliable mechanical performance for a modern collector seeking everyday elegance.
