Are there any collecters out there who own one and can show some pictures. Have they different calibers, cases. Thanks already. Greetz Simon

So did Zenith win a gold medal or some kind of Cup or Championship?

John Chris · Mar 7, 2013

No. Zenith bought the Martel Watch Co. which had a model called the Victorious.

Wot Chris said. It was not a particularly distinguished model in the lineup. there was an early version, and the name was then resurrected for a late version that was delivered only to Italy. The latter is shown here:

So.... is that like a raffle, or what? 😁

Wait, they used to give awards for being pricks? I would have cleaned up back then. 😁

You might say that... and you might say I won. 😝

I know you're wondering and yep... it's pink. 😀

Just to be clear, MMMD is showing off his shiny new PINK GOLD cal. 135, which movement won all those prix (French for victories, not a reference to forum moderators, however well-deserved) from 1950 through 1954. But the model called "Victorious" is rather less celebrated and, as far as I know, won nothing at all.

So, then he did not win it in a raffle, as he claimed. 😡

That was a lie. It is as Chris said. I am ashamed. :contrite:

John Chris · Mar 8, 2013

MMMD, you are SO not contrite - you are clearly giddy with glee as you well should be! Nice to have the dial that matches the ad!

OK, 5 Hail Marys and 5 Our Fathers for each of the five years Prix.
Now go and buy no more.

😬 Chris is right again. I'm awfully sorry...
