Port Royal
Recently super lucky to acquire these two legends from an experienced Zenith collector....=)
Although Port Royal size is small in today market trend of over 40mm, the watch does not feel small on wrist and probably the structure of the watch is compact and well build. it feels very solid to me.
The dial design is very unique but I have limited information about the who is the designer and why the designer has such breakthrough as it stands out loud among all chronometer watches in that period. Even in today standard after so many years, this dial layout is unique.
The lug which covers the strap opening for spring bar, narrowing the watch strap width and this creates complication in the case making....
The famous Cal 135 movement is very strong, and even after 60 years old, performs accurately and still fall within chronometer standard.
I am very happy to acquire these two watches and want to ask whether any experts here know how the original buckle looks like? The one with Zenith Star as shown in picture or the one with Zenith name as logo? I guess correct buckle size should be 14mm width.
Best regards
Port Royal

Size
It is 36mm without crown and 39mm including crown, lug to lug is around 43mm. As it has thin bezel, it does not look small on wrist.
Thank you, that doesn't rate
as small in my book at all. Congratulations! Cheers Marc
