Condition Report:
Case: The case is in fine condition and shows signs of wear and use with signs of scuffing and scratches throughout. There is a patina and pitting all around the case and case back. The case has been heavily polished. There is wear on the lugs, and deeper visible scratches on the right lower and upper lugs which are consistent with the case being filled and repaired. The crown has been replaced and is not original to the watch. The upper pusher appears to be pink gold and is not original to the watch. The gold mark is visible on the inside of the case back. Please note that the strap and buckle are generic and not signed Zenith.

Dial: The dial has been refinished. There is small spotting throughout the dial.

Movement: The chronograph function is operating. The movement is running at time of cataloging, however it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement.
