About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Universal / Zenith Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: 2 Register Chronograph / METAL / MATERIAL: Stainless Steel CIRCA: 1940's DIMENSIONS: Length 43mm X Diameter 35mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / Jewels / Cal. 146D (by Universal Geneve) DIAL / HANDS: Silvered Arabic Numerals ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 18 mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT While Zenith was a watch factory with their own chronograph caliber this movement was supplied to them by Universal Geneve. It is in excellent condition and still has an original unrestored dial with a nice even patina on it. The watch keeps excellent time and you can easily wear it often and count on it. It has a rather sporty look to it. We have it with a dark brown Alligator strap but if you would prefer black or rust it can easily be switched out.
