Zenith

Zenith Disco Volante

 

Dear friends
here's another friend from funky 70ies
The cool Zenith ref 01 - 1190 - 290
rightfully named by Italian collectors Disco volante - The flying saucer.



The crown is "integral part" of the case



Buckle to have it complete wink



even strap



Back plain and simple...actually begs for engraving...
Behind is 2562PC movement beating at 28 800 A/h



and now....drum roll....the profile that shows why Disco volante is rightful nickname...no lugs baby smile



Cool markers and star on the dial...I like that so much!
Navy blue dial...like that as well!
Date at Zenith position



Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on and fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
F.Sinatra

Cheers
D
P.S: After exhausting review I deserve appropriate cold one wink

when you deal with simple vintage pieces from Zenith you know that in majority of cases you'll end up with date on so called Zenith position...in the end is cool trademark Cheers D

That´s a beauty, Damjan!

nonetheles, the name disco volante is so beautifully perfect sacred to me I wouldn't use it for anything other than Alfa

Fun piece for sure :)

I see you are excellently sorted for Art's theme this week Sorry for my failing memory but at your pace it's difficult to keep track - new one or one of last year's harvest?
