Since 1865, when Georges Favre-Jacot was first inspired by a dream of building a true watch 'manufacture', Zenith has been crafting exclusive watches made to exceptionally exacting standards. Having won over 1500 awards, the company enjoys a long, prestigious history and today enjoys a growing popularity among collectors.
Today's offering features a very classic Zenith so-called Kennedy watch, so named because John F. Kennedy allegedly owned one. 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 with a clean dial.
The Respirator used an usual waterproof case design in which 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 a Zenith caliber 2532C handwound movement. Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the watch.
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.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with the watch we will fully refund the purchase price anytime within 7 days after the watch has been received. Our goal is to exceed our client's expectations throughout the buying experience.
All watches are packaged carefully and mailed double boxed in specially constructed, reinforced shipping boxes designed for high value items. All watches are sent fully insured with signature required. Most of our domestic shipping is done through FedEx. At times we will also use USPS Express Mail, and we can accommodate most requests for your preferred carrier. International shipments are sent USPS International Express Mail or FedEx.
The purchase price will be the declared value of the merchandise on any required customs forms. The payment of all customs duties, tariffs, and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.
Also note that water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We do not recommend getting a vintage watch wet, even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.
