    Here is my Zenith Sporto subseconds. If you don’t own a vintage Zenith, then this one, with a sweet, newly serviced, manual-wind, caliber 40 ticking inside, would make a great start!

    This 1956 dial appears untouched, and the hands appear to be original, too, IMO. My guess is that some lume was added to the hands after the original lume there failed. It is remarkable that the dial plots have survived so beautifully over its 63 years!

    The all stainless-steel case is 34mm with a 18mm lug width. The thin bezel around a relatively large dial helps it to wear larger than most watches at 34mm width. The edges are still sharp, and unpolished to my eye. No deep marks or gashes, only normal vintage wear.

    Please look at all of photos for full description. The movement shots are courtesy of the previous seller. He serviced the movement last summer, and she runs well.

    The slightly worn, fine suede strap you see in the pics is included in your purchase.

    This watch is being sold from my private collection. I am not a dealer, and I have no affiliations with any parties outside of me :thumbsup:!

    If you are in the CONUS, the price is inclusive of PP fees and shipping. Outside US is at my discretion, but you would need to be a well-established ΩF members. Sale is final unless the watch is grossly misrepresented in my ad.

    Thanks for looking, and Happy Watching!

    I had a question asked about the dial, so I added the following to the ad text above:

    Do feel free to chime in and/or correct me if I've made any errors or you'd like to add any other information.

    And as always, feel free to ask me questions via PM :):thumbsup:.
