About the Item

This Zenith Chronograph Calibre 156.17 from 1956 is available now. What can we say about this vintage Zenith Chronograph….. Unique, stunning, rare, and in exceptional working order A stunning tropical dial that has naturally aged and discoloured that is likely unique and impossible to replicate. This chronograph is hard to find model from Zenith in the 50’s making it rare. Stunning? Need we say anything other than provide the images. Exceptional Working Order? This watch is over 65 years old and runs at – +/- 7 seconds per DAY! Amplitude of 346 too… find a better working example if you can. 18ct yellow gold case that we have measured inclusive of the crown to 38mm x 36mm. Yes of course it shows scratches and markings but nothing significant and we certainly wouldn’t want to try taking them out. Plexiglass. Fitted to a generic brown leather strap with buckle, this is ready to be customised to you needs if required. Thanks for reading and viewing our watch, we hope you can appreciate it as much as we do.
