1950s Zenith Cal.135 "Chronometre" Silver dial in Stainless Steel

This is a chronometer stainless steel model with a silver dial, manufactured in the mid-1950s, featuring Zenith’s renowned Cal.135 movement. It is powered by the hand-wound chronometer movement Cal.135, which is one of Zenith’s signature movements. The dial has a matte silver base with wedge-shaped hour markers at 3, 9, and 12, paired with dauphine hands—this is one of the most popular designs among the 135 chronometers. The case is rounded to fit comfortably on the wrist, and the lugs are beveled. Despite its simple time-only appearance, the meticulous craftsmanship is what distinguishes it as a high-end 135 chronometer. In addition to its superb quality, it is also well-recognized, making it a classic collector's item among the many variations of vintage watches.
