Zenith 1950s Dresswatch - Salmon Dial
teardrop lugs - perfect salmon dial - like NOS condition
The dial is distinguished by its generously sized subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, enhancing the overall harmony and balance of the design. Long, dagger indices paired with slim, elegant hands create a clean, understated and refined aesthetic.
The 35 mm stainless steel case wears exceptionally well thanks to its well-balanced proportions and flat profile. Particularly striking are the pronounced teardrop lugs, which give the watch a distinctive character and clearly set it apart from the more conventional case designs of its era.
Inside beats the proven Zenith caliber 126, a reliable manual-wind movement that exemplifies the manufacture’s high standards of watchmaking.
With its clear and uncluttered design, this Zenith is an ideal everyday companion — perfect for the office, yet rich in authentic vintage charm. A rare opportunity to acquire an elegant Zenith dress watch in outstanding overall condition.
