The Watch
.
Well, where do we start with this absolutely glorious Zenith? At first glance you may mistake this for a 1960's Omega Seamaster or Railmaster, it's evident that Zenith has been influenced by those very successful models.
.
Crafted in at some point in the 1960s, this beauty is powered by the hacking Zenith 120 movement, which has been fully serviced. Housed in a razor sharp Stainless Steel Case, it sits wonderfully on your wrist. The Shark Tooth Dial is just outrageously good and has aged beautifully with the lume developing a sort of "Cheetah" effect.
