Zenith Vintage “Stellina” – 36mm – Manual Wind – Small Seconds – c.1950s
£550.00 GBP
⭐ Zenith Vintage “Stellina” – 36mm – Manual Wind – Small Seconds – c.1950s
A beautiful vintage Zenith dress watch from the 1950s, featuring the iconic applied star logo on the dial – often affectionately nicknamed “Stellina” (little star) by collectors. This example has a wonderfully honest vintage look with original dial patina and classic small-seconds layout, offering pure mid-century Swiss elegance.
The watch is running and keeping time, with hand-wound movement (not opened, movement reference therefore not confirmed). The dial shows attractive even ageing consistent with its age. The crown appears to be a later replacement.
This is a perfect piece for collectors of vintage Zenith, mid-century dress watches, or anyone who appreciates understated Swiss design.
