Zenith XL-Tronic 01-0060-500
Vintage Zenith XL-Tronic Dress Vintage Watch from 1976, men’s quartz Caliber 50 (tuning-fork) with a refined silver dial, non-numeral indexes, luminous hands, and a discrete 4 o’clock date—an elegant, heritage timepiece with the smooth sweep characteristic of ESA 9162 architecture.
1976 Zenith Dress Vintage Watch with Silver Dial & 4 o’clock Date
This Swiss-made vintage timepiece balances restrained styling and precision. The stainless steel case measures 36.0 mm with a 40.0 mm lug-to-lug and 18.0 mm lug width for confident, comfortable wear. A clean silver dial with non-numeral indexes and luminous hands enhances legibility, while the 4 o’clock date keeps the layout refined and functional.
Zenith Caliber 50 (ETA-ESA 9162) — Tuning-Fork Precision
At its core is Zenith’s Caliber 50, derived from the ETA-ESA 9162 tuning-fork architecture. Unlike typical quartz, this mechanical-electronic system oscillates at 300 Hz for exceptionally smooth sweep and stable precision—hallmarks of vintage Swiss watchmaking heritage. Fully serviced and fully operational, it retains original components for authenticity and longevity. Fully serviced and ready to wear, this watch will provide reliable performance for years to come.
1970s Zenith Heritage, Condition & Originality
Offered in used yet outstanding condition, this historic wristwatch reflects late-1970s design language: elegant geometry, practical legibility, and distinctive tuning-fork technology. Its originality, servicing, and preserved aesthetics make it a collectible mechanical-electronic timepiece from a pivotal era in horology.
