Zenith captain cal 71

Weihao · Oct 30, 2025

Just bought this yesterday. Love the minty rose gold case and the rosey tone of the colour. Looks like it was never opened and the watchmaker just serviced it for the first time.

Plus the bonus original crown!

Any thoughts are welcome.

Cheers
Weihao

Congratulations! Beautiful condition, and one of my favorite bumper movements.

That looks like a beauty, and very sharp for a gold case.

Very nice example!
Case was made for Zenith by Classicor SA, La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Thank you all! Indeed one of my favourite movements and models from the vintage world. I have another one in YG but kept it somewhere else. Hopefully the two can reunite soon 😀.

Here’s the other cal 71 brother. I am curious to see how the gold tones compare against one another.

Stunning with Z caseback and ships wheel crown

Indeed. I particularly like the crown which I think is also very functional (for winding). I’m not sure of the crown is solid gold as I have seen some wornout ones on delux versions.

Overall I’m happy with the purchase!

Nothing beats a sharp gold case, congratulations

Here’s the comparison with the yellow gold brother. Although there’s a fair bit of tarnish on the yellow gold and I’m not polishing it to keep the vintage look.
