Zenith WW2, Men’s Vintage Watch

A richly patinated Arabic-numeral dial gives this 1941 Zenith its warm, utilitarian appearance. The men’s watch has a compact 35 mm metal case and a hand-wound Zenith movement whose caliber number is not recorded. Original components are retained, with a 39 mm lug-to-lug span and an 18 mm strap fitting.

Arabic numerals and even dial patina

Large Arabic numerals and a precise minute track keep the dial easy to read. The purposeful handset follows that straightforward layout, while the attractive, even patina gives the surface depth.

The 1941 date places it among wartime Swiss watches of the 1940s, with clear Arabic numerals and straightforward function taking priority over ornament. The WW2-era designation is preserved as period context, without assigning a particular military unit or service history to this watch.

Compact metal case and manual winding

The case measures 35 mm in diameter and 39 mm from lug to lug. Its exact underlying metal is not identified. The 18 mm fitting allows different leather or canvas straps to be considered, but the currently fitted strap is not documented.

The Zenith movement in this manual-wind watch requires regular crown winding. Its exact caliber is unspecified, so no jewel count, beat rate or reserve is assigned.

Original components and serviced condition

This used example retains its original watch components and appealing dial patina. It is fully serviced and fully operational, with a 12-month warranty. Original box and papers are not included.
