Period
circa 1925
This gentleman's half-hunter pocket watch by Zenith is crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and dates to approximately 1925. The exterior features a plain-polished case with a hinged half-hunter cover; this cover is decorated with an engraved Roman numeral chapter ring in blue enamel, surrounding a glazed aperture that provides a view of the subsidiary seconds register.
The interior houses a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals, a fine outer minute track, and blued-steel spade hands. The timepiece is driven by a signed Zenith gilt three-quarter plate movement, numbered 2502491, which utilizes a 17-jewel lever escapement. Additional technical features include a regulation index, a prominent gilt barrel bridge, and an inscription indicating the movement is adjusted. The case, numbered 315060, is fitted with a ribbed gold bow and an onion-form winding crown, and bears Swiss export stamps alongside the 18-carat gold mark.
The total weight of the watch is 115.5 grams, with an estimated gold weight of approximately 75 to 80 grams.
