Zenith 1A Extra Special 1932 Pilot Watch - Cal. Zenith 15-1 - central seconds - rare!

For sale is a rare example of a 1930s military Zenith, Pilot / Flieger type, with rotating inner bezel!
These Zeniths were used in the 1930s/40s by pilots of the German air force "Luftwaffe".
this particular specimen is very rare BECAUSE it is the version with central seconds!
most zenith 1A extra special had the small seconds at 6 o'clock.

Brand: Zenith
Movement: Zenith 15-1 (Solo time, mechanical with manual winding).
Case: Chrome-plated, fixed lugs.
Caseback: screw-down
Glass: Mineral
Case Diameter: 40.50mm Approx. (Crown Excluded)
Case Height: 12mm Approx. (Glass included)
Lug 2 Lug: 49mm Approx.
Strap: Born Generic suede leather, 20mm, Brown.

Condition: This fantastic Zenith is used, showing some signs of time, so we encourage users to take a good look at the high-resolution photos we have uploaded.
The movement has been serviced by our trained technician and is currently in excellent health.

NOTE:
- the dial shows too good a condition, so it is most likely a reprint.
- same for the luminescent material of the spheres, it may turn out to be "replaced" over the years.
- the inner rotating bezel doesn't turn as freely as it used to, you have to exert some force,
most likely a skilled restorer could unlock it.
- the case does not have any zenith inscriptions or logos, searching the web I saw that some cases have logos, others do not, I could not say for sure if it is right or wrong.

precisely because of this, the watch is offered at an incredible price!
(other examples of zenith 1A extra special are offered on the web at over 5,000€).

We remind all users that our watches are sold with regular bill of sale!
unfortunately this specimen, being very old and rare, is not covered by our 1 year warranty on proper functioning.
therefore the watch is sold "as is" with "seen and liked" MODE.

For any information and curiosity please do not hesitate to contact us, our staff will be happy to accommodate all your requests.
