Celebrate the Year of the Horse with Nilomis's Zenith watch post. Discuss the Zenith New Vintage 1969 and its collector appeal.

Nilomis extends New Year greetings for the year 4712, the Year of the Horse, sharing a festive image of a Zenith watch. The post playfully acknowledges the background's feline inhabitants, adding a personal touch to the well wishes.

Team,

That the year 4712 brings all possible happiness and, for sure, many and many watches to all.

(Yes, the background contains cats not horses ... sorry)

Cheers,

Nilo

The 'New Vintage 1969' Zenith is highlighted as the definitive iteration, combining a specific dial and case design from the early '70s, making it the 'crème' of Zenith design.
The author confirms the vintage model's memorable status and notes the scarcity of this particular instance, with only 500 in stainless steel and 250 in titanium, making it a 'real deal' for collectors.
A fellow member extends well wishes for an auspicious Horse Year and the fulfillment of horological dreams.

Cool photo of a cool chrono. If I get one, it will be all your fault. ;)

But I think I would go for the original first. The the re issue. Best, Nicolas

Ah, but this . . .

. . . is the original, Nicolas! Yes, the case and the dial are duplicates of Zenith references from the early '70s, but the New Vintage 1969 is the only iteration with this particular dial and case. If you want the crème of Zenith design, it's the revision that has it all . . .

I agree 100%

The vintage was a memorable watch but this instance, not easy to locate (only 500 in SS and 250 in Ti), is the real deal. Thanks Art, Nilo

I know, Art. ;) But since I tried a very nice vintage one, I put that in my mind.
