Title: Vintage Zodiac Dress Watch
Post by: EcuadorCollector on October 16, 2009, 02:10:00 PM
Hi All!

Would like to show this pre 1960 Zodiac; have no idea as to its model name but it is absolutely beautiful and in near-mint condition. I have never seen another like it and have been searching for one on the Net for the last 7 years.

All I can add is that it is a 1960's dress watch and only the 3rd I have ever seen.

Here are two more pics - movement and band. The band is not original; I have bought several of these bands for my vintage watches, these bands are gold filled and guaranteed to last! They manufacture these in Peru BTW. As an example of their quality, I purchased a fancy dial Swiss Silvana Incabloc, circa 1961, with one of these Peruvian bands which was fitted to the watch around 1963 and was given everyday use until 1992, date of the death of original owner - the band looks absolutely great! It has a beautiful patina that looks exactly like antique gold; no wear-through at all. Will try to post a few pics of this vintage band for you all.

Thank you for your compliments; I am very happy to own this particular Zodiac as it was my Father's daily wearer.
