Vintage 1970s Zenith 20.0510.352 Museum Dial Ladies Watch 19J Manual Wind 25mm

About this watch

A distinctive minimalist Zenith with a Museum-style dial: a deep brown-black dial without numerals or hour markers, a single raised gold-tone dot at 12 o'clock and two slender gold hands.

The 25mm gold-plated case keeps its signed crown and houses a genuine Zenith Swiss manual-wind movement signed ZENITH, SWISS MADE, 19 JEWELS. The inside of the caseback is signed ZENITH SWISS. Fitted with a later black leather strap with red stitching.

Brand heritage

Zenith was founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, by Georges Favre-Jacot, who brought all stages of watchmaking together under one roof in one of the first true manufactures. In 1969 Zenith introduced the El Primero, one of the first automatic chronograph movements, and in the same period joined forces with Movado, whose famous Museum dial, designed by Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, inspired the look of this watch.

Why this one is special
