A rare vintage Zenith chronograph from the 1930s - a testimony to the Art Deco era with an exceptional design.
The dial of this watch is a prime example of the design sophistication of the interwar period. It features the characteristic "sector design" in which the minute track is divided into 60 equally spaced segments by fine lines. A blue snail scale in the center attracts the eye, while the outer telemeter scale in matching blue underscores the chronograph's functionality. The natural patina that has formed on the dial over the decades gives the timepiece an unmistakable vintage aesthetic and underscores its authentic character.
An unusual design element is the elegantly curved arch that unites the bracelet lugs. This architectural design is typical of the creative language of the 1930s and represents the Art Deco style with a successful blend of symmetry, geometry and a touch of extravagance.
This rare Zenith chronograph is not only a functional instrument from a bygone era, but also a stylish collector's item with a high recognition value. An impressive relic of time that brings the design consciousness of a fascinating era to life on the wrist.
