Cal 12-4-P




(c): Vultures78
ZENITH movement cal. 12-4-P was only made in 9200 pieces between 1945 and 1947. The number 12 represents the size of the movement measured in lignes. It has gold plated movement with 16 jewels and small seconds at 6. Despite the fact of production years between 1945 and 1947 this particular watch was dated by Zenith to September 25th 1942. After almost seven decades of life it still beats with 18.000 bph and keeps good time. The original two-tone dial and hands shows severe signs of aging.

    She's a beauty! I have a cal. 12-4. I wish mine had it's original dial. Zenith said my watch was manufactured in June 29, 1939.

    Chris,

    I just noticed one of these up on ebay.

    Is the dial shown not an original then? I can't find any other examples of this style of dial on a zenith except for your photos.
