Description
This elite Zenith Captain from 1958 is an ideal vintage wristwatch for someone who appreciates classic, understated luxury. The "Captain" is a rare chronometer watch from the 1950s. Its stunning dial with a minimalist design is very rare, especially in its original condition.

The mere fact that this watch is powered by a chronometer certified movement, that meets high accuracy requirements, makes it a first-class choice among vintage Zenith watches. The Zenith caliber 133.8 is a rare automatic hammer movement that is prized by connoisseurs of fine Swiss craftsmanship.

The watch is a real eye-catcher thanks to its dial. We love the exotic hour markers on the shiny golden outer ring. This contrasts with the matt champagne surface with the applied Zenith logo and the words “Chronometer Zenith automatic Captain”. Housed in an 18k yellow gold case, the watch offers a luxurious yet calm and understated look.

About the history of Zenith Captain
The history of Zenith dates back to 1856. Thanks to its outstanding watchmaking skills, the company had a significant influence on the watch industry of the 20th century. The "Captain" was launched in 1957 and was an elegant model line. The classic aesthetics combined with mechanical mastery reflect the heritage of the Zenith brand. The Zenith Captain was a top model among the time-only timepieces and comparable to the Omega Constellation and the Longines Conquest.
