A Zenith Captain with cal 71
Hello everyone....
I know zenith has really expanded the Captain line... I wanted share an early bumper auto example that I have in my collection.... To top it off I recently came across a ( I think proper Zenith signed bracelet). The end pieces could not fit any better to the long cat ear lugs!
Does anyone have any Captains?
I will be keeping an eye out!
Good Hunting

Thank you Master ...
Bill, I forgot the 135 and you promptly corrected. I always consider doing a post, that will require extensive research, about those unknown geniuses like Mr. Ephrem Jobin (We had a musical genius called Antonio Carlos Jobin from the "Girl from Ipanema" -...
Please , we are on this journey together!
Hi It always fun in sharing with friends. Looking forward to seeing what we find next. Good hunting Bill Sohne
I do believe...
..I have a sister watch. Here's a cal 71 I uprooted from its home in Cebu City, Phillipines. The bracelet is not as fine as yours, of course (which is quite a find...never seen anything like it! - and like "cat-ear lugs" too. Very apt). ...

Hi Lou Great to see you here... The cal 71... stunning... I missed out on a chronometre 71 Capt case in 18k yellow gold .. The Zenith stretch oyster style GF bracelet was a real gamble . I was not sure if it would fit my Capt 71 , or maybe fit my Capt 135...
