Zenith Autosport 28800 Steel Automatic
 
Here we have Zenith Autosport, a wonderful example of a classic carwatch design. This beautiful vintage watch comes with a crisp-cased in great condition and with sharp edges. Dating to the 1970s, this classic model measures a 36 mm. It offers a fairly wide-set bezel that gives this watch a nice presence. The dial is in clean condition with a double signing with the SCANIA logo. The simple Zenith-Logo alongside the silver indexes and beautiful hands are harmonious and well balanced. The crown is original with the appropriate Zenith-Logo from the same period. This WRISTCLASSIC is powered by a calibre 2562PC, 28800a/h, automatic movement. This beautiful timepiece comes with stunning handmade leatherstrap in dark blue/grey what really completes the package the right way. The movement is in running condition and keeping time well, the date is advancing correctly at this time. It’s a true WRISTCLASSIC with perfect proportions, timeless styling, and a great reference to the motorsports. 
 
The watch manufacture Zenith was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot. In 1911 the name was changed into „Fabrique des Billodes“. One day Georges Favre-Jacot finished a new movement which he named after the sky and the stars: Zenith. This is how the brand Zenith was born. 1969 Zenith came up with the first automatic movement called El Primero. Till today the El Primero is one of the most iconic movements in the watch-world.
