Here comes another one

Another of the madly addictive Captain Chronometers, this one in spectacular condition - one of those gifted and drawered watches.



correct crown


This one also had the original strap and buckle, but it's been removed in favor of a new Camille Fournet glossy alligator


The dial has the brushed center and the mirror-finish minute track. They exist in the opposite configuration, as seen here:http://omegaforums.net/threads/zenith-captain-chronometre-cal-133-8.2869/


Cal 133.8 inside..


..and Z on the back. Note the clearly preserved machine finish. No watchmaker's marks on the inside.


Here it is with its pink sister watch


Does the pink one seem larger to you? It is, by about 1mm in diameter, and it's 1mm thicker too, even though it has had a polish. Same casemaker too. Very interesting - I assumed these were all the same size, at least until the Martel calibers were introduced.

Anyway, you know who strikes again!

Fabulous!

Both sport Camille Fournet alligator - as good as it gets, but they don't come cheap.

Hi lou

nice pair, the date chronometre should have a cal 71, slightly larger caliber . I remember year ago missing a pink gold date Zenith chronometer on eBay outbid at about 1500$.....

bill

I see what you are doing...well 😎




Hi Bill, I thought the movement size would be the likeliest reason, but interesting that they would have scaled up the whole case rather than having a uniform size to accommodate both movements.

I did find the pink gold date on eBay, but it was a good bit more than USD1500...
