    1960's Zodiac Chronograph - Gorgeous Panda
    A truly top example of this classic Zodiac reference.

    Outstanding overall vintage condition. Fully serviced in October, 2014 by Andy Lewis at UltraVintage - a well-regarded Zodiac specialist. Andy said of this watch - "The Zodiac chrono is probably the nicest all original example I have had here. Unpolished case and completely original dial and hands and crisp movement make it an outstanding example."

    Dial: Untouched finish, black-on-white panda, near perfect condition as shown in the photos. Signed "Zodiac", "T Swiss". Correct stainless Steel dial furniture, hour/minute/seconds hands, black chrono seconds hand, white subdial hands. All luminous material intact, but no longer glows. Crystal was replaced at service and is as new.

    Case: Excellent+ chromed case. Signed stainless steel screw-down caseback. 36mm diameter without crown, 39mm with crown, 42.5mm lug to lug.

    Movement: Valjoux 7730, manual wind. Running well and keeping good time, all chrono functions working correctly.
    Movement photos were taken at the time of service. Detailed movement info can be found here: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Valjoux_7730

    Priced at US$1275, make me an offer! Condition Condition Condition! Payment accepted via PayPal or bank wire. Fees and USPS priority mail insured shipping included for US buyers. International buyers will pay actual shipping costs over US$20.

    No returns. Please review the pictures carefully as they are an important and integral part of the description.

    Very glad to answer any questions you may have - just shoot me a PM. Search my username in the "Private Watch Sales" section to see my previous OF sales.
