    Are there any collecters out there who own one and can show some pictures. Have they different calibers, cases. Thanks already. Greetz Simon

    So did Zenith win a gold medal or some kind of Cup or Championship?

    No. Zenith bought the Martel Watch Co. which had a model called the Victorious.

    Wot Chris said. It was not a particularly distinguished model in the lineup. there was an early version, and the name was then resurrected for a late version that was delivered only to Italy. The latter is shown here:

    Just to be clear, MMMD is showing off his shiny new PINK GOLD cal. 135, which movement won all those prix (French for victories, not a reference to forum moderators, however well-deserved) from 1950 through 1954. But the model called "Victorious" is rather less celebrated and, as far as I know, won nothing at all.

    So, then he did not win it in a raffle, as he claimed. :mad:

    MMMD, you are SO not contrite - you are clearly giddy with glee as you well should be! Nice to have the dial that matches the ad!

    OK, 5 Hail Marys and 5 Our Fathers for each of the five years Prix.
    Now go and buy no more.
