1 - Zenith Captain Automatic, reference 945A069: this magnificent 1965 model features a clean, silver dial accented by baton hour markers and a date window. This timepiece embodies the timeless elegance of vintage dress watches, with a discreet and refined presence on the wrist. At its heart beats the Zenith Caliber 2542PC, a reliable automatic movement highly prized by collectors. The steel case, measuring 37.4 mm in diameter and 10.9 mm thick, fits the wrist perfectly with its harmonious proportions typical of 1960s watchmaking. The Plexiglas crystal completes this authentically vintage design. This watch underwent a complete service in November 2025 at our in-house workshop, ensuring optimal performance. The overall condition of this piece is very good: the case, dial, bezel, and crystal show only barely visible signs of wear, reflecting careful use. The brown leather strap and its pin buckle are from a later period, adding a touch of contemporary comfort to this exceptional vintage timepiece. The watch is sold on its own, without the original case or papers. This Captain Automatic represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a collectible Zenith—a pivotal piece bridging classic watchmaking and modern standards—combining the brand’s reliability with the undeniable charm of watches serviced in-house.
