I wouldn't be surprised if it's a counterfeit box...

The velour is coming off. 

The watch cuff is small and thin. 

The hinge shows through the white fabric. 

The impression that I get is that this is a very inexpensive box that was probably made for a fake Zenith watch that is being used for a real Zenith watch.  Bad form.  Too bad, some buyers are dumb enough to buy it.  Just like a lot of people who buy vintage watches but don't know how to spot the obvious tricks some unscrupulous dealers use to increase the value of their watch.

A nice picture from Antiquorum. I wonder if it is the correct box for that watch. What do you think? Best, Nicolas ...

My knowledge of Zenith watch boxes are very poor. Should Zenith deliver watches in simple cases? I do not know Nicolas.

I wonder if it is not round... [nt]

I saw this watch in many different boxes, it has been delivered in the classic cylinder but also in the brown cube or this.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a counterfeit box...
