Collector Notes & Dating
This particular model is Powered by Zenith’s early post-war in-house calibre 40, this Sporto hails from the rugged 1950s line Zenith couldn’t even sell in the US due to a trademark clash with Zenith Radio—making vintage Sportos notably scarce there today. In the 1950s Zenith equipped many Sporto models with a patented clear acrylic inner dust cover – an unusual mid-century solution that gave extra protection against dust and moisture and has become a distinctive signature of the line..Movement serial 4559••90 (full number in buyer documents). Zenith cal. 40 with small seconds and this case/dial style place the watch in the 1950s; Zenith serial tables are incomplete, so we date it to the decade rather than a specific year.

Omega 43 Years Old Vintage Omega Equinoxe Reverso /Ref. 1860013 / Cal. 1655 / Vintage 1981
From start to finish the transaction was straight forward and smooth. The watch arrived well packed and in the exact condition described. I only recently became interested in "vintage" watches and EVW is a great resource for quality pieces. I already purchased a second and when I find something I like I will gladly purchase again. Thank you Lukasz.
I absolutely love the gorgeous vintage watch I bought from EVW! It’s amazing to be able to wear a watch that is 119 years old. I often wonder what life was like for the original owner in 1906. The watch was delivered very quickly by DHL and was packaged well. A great buying experience!
63 Years Old Vintage Omega Gold plated / Ref. 14395 61 SC / Cal. 285 (30T2) / Vintage 1961
I am so happy with this purchase! Communication was super easy with EVW and they negotiated on price. Upon receiving the watch, I was simply stunned. The condition of restoration is incredible. The gold case is flawless, the case back is perfect, and the dial has only 1 small imperfection (pictured in listing, expected). For a watch from 1982, this is amazing. The Caliber 1110 movement is working very smoothly. The quick-set date is great, and the power reserve is too.
EVW always has an incredible selection of amazing vintage pieces at fair prices with super fast and reliable shipping.
