1960's Zenith JFK John F. Kennedy Vintage (Respirator) Automatic Mens Watch - Stainless Steel

Zenith

Item No. 4211

Today's offering showcases this very classic Zenith so-called Kennedy watch, so named because John F. Kennedy allegedly owned a similar watch. In our opinion it makes the short list of best looking square vintage watches.

This is one of the true "Kennedy" versions. It has a simple, pleasing, and balanced design, and this watch has a cool monochromatic style.

It uses the Respirator case which has an usual waterproof case design. The movement is housed within an impermeable container and the crystal is designed to seal from the top with a gasket.

Powering the watch is an excellent Zenith caliber 2542PC 25 jewel automatic movement.

The smoke gray has been freshly restored.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
