Zenith Stellina 36mm 18k Gold - 1960's
Zenith Stellina 36mm 18k Gold
Pre-El Primero vintage Zenith are still largely overlooked, and therefore provide what we feel is quite frankly absurd value for money for what are simply stunning watches from a period when classic watch design really mattered.
What we have here is a circa-1960's manual wind dress watch that utilises the famed Cal.40 movement, one of Zenith's core chronometer rated movements from the era next to the famed Cal.135. In production until 1963 it was renowned for it's robustness and accuracy, and is quite lovely to behold as well.
The case is made of 18kt gold and measures in at an oversized for the era 36mm, with magnificently structured lugs which are quite long and strong in profile, giving it impressive presence for its size. The case is beautifully preserved, with no large dings/nicks etc present.
Housed within it lies a silver dial with gold indices, classic Zenith star applied below 12, and topped with Dauphine hands. The dial is in magnificent condition for its age, with some light patina.
Hands appear to be original, and show oxidisation and scratches commensurate with the age of the watch. Plexi is very clean.
Serviced history is unknown. Keeping excellent time, and winds super smoothly.
It's mounted to an aftermarket handcrafted HANDDN Nubuck strap with pin buckle.
Comes with Watch Vault cleaning cloth and Watch Vault Travel Pod.
A truly lovely example.
