Zenith Respirator X
A nice rectangular curvex gold-plated original Zenith Respirator, among the first waterproof-meant-to-be trend watches. Apart from the wristlet and the buckle, all the parts are original. The only blemish is a minor scratched place at the dial at the level of 8. However the blue dial together with the same-coloured neutral wristlet and the yellow golden hour marks as well as the hands have the best effect on the beholders. Technically, the watch works greatly and keeps good time. The same thing as to the changing of the date. Inside is a Zenith in-house manufacture movement calibre 2562 PC with its 28800 beats pro hour. It is +~ 35mms large with the crown, and 40mms long from the last extremity of the case.
