Description
Worn but very charming vintage
Unusual bulls eye dial and hour markers
A very distinctive watch
Zodiac watches use astrology signs on their watchbacks. This Glorious is a Pisces (and should have been marked “Waterproof” on the back, but alas is only “Water Resistant”). The caliber 721 rhodinated (gold plated) movement is nice and working well, but should be serviced if planned use is frequent. The dial has a “waffle” texture in the oversized black bulls eye. The prominent gold hour markers are fixed to a separate ring holding the crystal. In all, details making this vintage Zodiac stand out among most vintage watches from the period (around 1960). The dimensions of the /worn) 20 micron gold plated case (reference 763) are: Diameter 34, lug tip to lug tip 42 and thickness 9.6 mm. The lugs add to the character of the watch, the are long and detailed. It appears to have its original crown.
