Reference 59.0380.380 belongs to the Defy series, a historic Zenith line known for its robust design and build quality, especially in the models of the 1960s and 1970s. This example, datable to around 1975, is an automatic with date that combines a 37 mm steel case with gold accents and a sober grey dial, with indices and date window.
The movement
The calibre is the Zenith 2572 PC, automatic with date, at 28,800 vibrations per hour and with 17 jewels, and a power reserve of around 46 hours. Among vintage Zeniths it is a movement known for reliability and precision.
The model
The crystal is mineral and the watch is fitted to a signed Zenith steel bracelet. Water resistance is limited: this is not a diving watch, but a vintage timepiece for everyday wear.
