Zenith - Gold-plated Chronometer Watch

Caliber 2562, circa 1970-1972.

Produced in the early 1970s, this Zenith Chronometer perfectly illustrates the expertise of the Le Locle manufacture at a time when precision held a central place in Swiss watchmaking.

With its balanced proportions, discreet date window at 4:30, and aesthetic typical of the early 1970s, this Zenith offers an original alternative to the more commonly encountered models from the manufacture.
