One modern, one vintage. By the way, one is for sale .

First, this one, which features a balanced design of guiloche dial, useful "reserve de marche" complication. I would call it a "modern classic". It is listed for sale here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/zenith-elite-automatic-power-reserve.145982/








And this rare chronometer Cal. 12-4P-50:








Cheers.

 

The first one has a pretty special dial. Lovely pics

 

Zenith has become my favorite brand and lovely watches

 

Very nice. I like the open back.

 

Interesting that the chronometre is labelled "unadjusted". Were these marketed to the US, I wonder?

 

Was monitoring the sale of the Chronometre… Congrats !

Asking myself the same question about the unadjusted movement…

 

Would like to see the extract on that 12-4

 

i like the contrast between the modern bussy dial and the simple chronometer. also comes to my attention such a fine grade movement as the chronometer is unadjusted.

 

I also wondered, searching around even for the chronometer 12-4P didn't give much info

 

I have found another example of 12-4P-50 with exactly same configuration @ ebay: swan neck regulation, unadjusted... ebay's piece has a redial though

 

Both look great

 

I digged a little bit more and found another example of Chronometre with 12-4P but unadjusted ... seems the period is like that...

dig no more, there is another piece 12-4P-50 from the member (axiale) within our OF:

oh, found this NOS condition ... same dial configuration, but 12-4P which is not a central second

Beautiful watches

 

Great Zeniths. My Cal. 71 is on my wrist today.

 

Wow. Just wow.
