Can anyone tell me more about these watches?

These were some of my grandmothers watches. I did a reverse image search in them but couldn't get to much info. Thanks in advance to the community.

Perhaps you might try to find someone near you that can open these watches, who can give you much more information than we can. Your pictures, blurred as they are, are not much help. The dial names Vulcan, Zenith, and Hampden are barely discernible, but that is a start. Opening the cases will be the only way to determine composition of the cases.

The issue is where I live there aren't many informed people. I'll take better pics and post them tomorrow. It's a zodiac I think not zenith.

We really need you to have the cases opened! Better pictures repeating your original pictures are not likely to help.

I'll try and take them to get them open. I'm afraid of causing damage.

Just to set expectations, if you have them opened, the markings inside will probably tell us what materials the cases are made of (e.g. 14k gold, gold-plated, etc.). We will also be able to see the movements (mechanisms) and perhaps identify them, but the names of the movements probably won't mean much to you. Aside from that - material and movement - you're not likely to learn much.
