Hello everyone,
I recovered my grandfather's watch: A Zodiac Glorious.
I would like some information on this watch: Its movement, its year or any other interesting things!
Finally, the crown does not appear to be original. Do you know what is the original crown and where I could get one?
here are some photos. Unfortunately I can't open it.
thank you so much !
Look like a mid to late 1950's dress watch. I think the case is solid gold due to the serial number. The 14 or 18K markings are probably in the case back. That probably has a manual winds movement too.
A very nice family heirloom. Be sure to read this if you want to wear it.

Thank you !
Yes I confirm, it is in 18K gold (Eagle head), and it is indeed a manual winds movement. Do you know which movement?
What does number 4192 refer to?
The watch has been revised by a watchmaker, it works perfectly!
Regarding the crown, do you have any advice, any idea where I could find this?
thank you so much

I'd speculate - ETA 1080. But your watchmaker should know that for sure
What a lovely watch! And gold too - very cool.
Thanks everyone !
And here is his movement !
The Zodiac 721 (Font 72 base) is a very nice movement. Zodiac featured it in quite a few watches from the era, including a variant that was used in the Aerospace Jet. Once serviced it is a reliable and accurate movement.
Thank you for the information !
Hello everyone,
I'm still looking for the original crown for this Zodiac glorious. Someone to help me ?
Thanks !
Would you mind to share a picture of the case back's inner side?
