Hello.
Zenith cal. 135 with captain's case 36.5 mm, steel. I already have a cal 135 gold-plated captain in my collection, but this was the first time I saw a steel one and I had to buy it. Do you think everything looks original?

 

I’m no expert on these ( or much else to be truthful ) but it looks original to me….. apart from the unfortunate marks on the back where some idiot in the dark distant past seems to have used a bloody jackhammer to undo the case back!
Other than that it’s a loverly watch.

 

Great catch.

 

Thanks for your post. I read about these 50 pieces in the captain case. Did this apply to gold, gold plated and steel cases? If so, I have two pieces in my collection and I sold one to Finland. I took the first photo of the newest acquisition with the remaining Zenith cal 135 from my collection. I'll have to buy a box for it.

 

I will do that, I will apply for an extract for two Zeniths in the captain's case. Zenith has
very poor information about the number of copies of the product and where it is sold. I once applied for an extract on a 106 Zenith, because it was assumed that it could be a military prototype, and look how poor the information I received

 

The second watch in the captain's case is gold-plated, also a second series 135. The caliber 135 of the second series is also a Port Royal in a gold case. Steel "Small" - 35 mm is the first series of caliber 135

 

what a stunning movement

 

I have to show off what this watch looks like after returning from the service

 

Amazing piece

Enjoy wearing it
