Hi boyz'n'girlz Just found this watch on a flee market. I like Zenith very much but I haven't got a lot of archives. Can anybody help me date this watch that is in a super condition? It'as based on a Minerva movement that begin with 29. if someone had some archives (ads, Zenith extracts, etc) Some pics :
The movement has the reference 19 CH-1 and the movement number dates it to ca. 1929. You can find the movement and a watch in the Zenith book from Manfred Rössler on page 83. Good hunting for that beauty !
Don’t forget to date the hallmarks as well. If it’s silver then there should be both purity and assay year marks on it.
