Zenith Chronometre cal 135

BrunoCodispoti · Jul 26, 2023

Hi guys,
I found casually this watch and I discover that seems to be a Zenith Chronometre with rare cal 135, second generation.
It doesn’t work, seems to have a problem with anchor and charge spring.
I think dial is a bad redial but all the rest seems original. I see the value of this ref and I don’t know
What to do. What do u think about it?
Thanks

Can we see straight on photos of the dial without the hands obscuring any printing?

These are better pics. An hour marker is swimming on dial, I also think the hands are not original too… I don’t have any experience with this brand, so I hope u could help me 😀

The movement, case and crown appear to be legitimate. The dial is not.

"CRONOMETRE"

All cars in the vicinity of this Zenith, please be on the lookout for a missing "H". 😁

As for what to do, I'd suggest buying these, and have a good watchmaker bring the watch back to life. It's value would increase far more than the expenditure.

Thanks Tony for your opinion
I'm trying to find the "H" in my home ::facepalm1::

I think it's the best solution to fit a good dial and hands and love this beauty.
I see some pieces over 5000€ 😲

Too bad about the dial, but no question it's a worthy project.
