Long Professional Description (English)

This is a vintage Zenith Automatic 28800, powered by the Zenith Caliber 2562C, a high-beat 28,800 bph movement from the late 1960s–1970s. This is the rare date version, making it a desirable choice for collectors and restorers.

The movement runs perfectly, with stable operation and smooth balance motion. The watch retains its original hour and minute hands, while the seconds hand is missing. The dial is original and shows heavy vintage patina, consistent with age.

The case measures 36.5 mm, featuring a 20-micron gold-filled bezel and a stainless-steel back (reference GR 720010). The crown is functional but not original and does not carry the Zenith logo. The crystal is missing and will need replacement.

Overall, this Zenith is mechanically excellent and offers a strong foundation for a full restoration or collector project.
