··Mrs Nataf's Other SonHello All!
Zenith Defy for sale - this is the charcoal dial version of the so-called "Miura" case - because it is very much of its time and a bit of an acquired taste. This was Zenith's heavy-duty, take-any-punishment sportwatch launched in 1969. For those of you that read fench, here's a list of features
(abridged translation: 1 - high quality shock protected movement; 2 - shock absorbing plastic bushing surrounding movement; 3 - 300m water resistant case; 4 - hardened mineral glass crystal; 5 - special crystal socket to guarantee water resistance; 6 - screw-down crown)
Watch Description
Brand: Zenith
Model: DEFY
Ref: A 3645
Case Number: 722D632
Material: Stainless steel
Crystal(s): Acrylic
Movement: Zenith caliber 2552 PC
Accessories: none
Condition
Movement: Runs strong and all functions work as should. Serviced in 2011.
Dial: entirely original metallic black dial, in excellent shape. These do change over time, and tend to take on the olive/charcoal hue this one has.
Crystal: excellent (replacement - not the hardened mineral glass in the advert above)
Case: Please see pictures. This is an uncommonly good case for a Defy - These watches were meant to be used hard, and most show it.
Bracelet: Zenith Gay Freres stainless steel ladder pattern bracelet with correct 'ZC' endpieces.
$ 850 OBO including insured shipping CONUS. International shipping at your expense and risk.
This is a pretty challenging watch to photograph, both because of the black dial and the many-faceted case - tried to take many angles to give you an idea of the condition.
