Initially I thought the lume was just fallen of, but then I realised it was made like that on purpose (looks like factory lume to me). I found this interesting, decided to share. The star is also lumed.

Zenith watches with black dials
Hello everyone,
I’m starting a thread here exclusively about watches with black dials from Zenith (or Georges Favre-Jacot or Billodes, respectively).
The type of watch doesn’t matter. Pocket watches, wristwatches, on-board clocks, etc. are all welcome. I’m interested in all the exotic Zenith watches with black dials.
Incidentally, this also proves that not all watches with black dials were intended for the military, as is often assumed. I’ll start with the watches I’ve been able to…

Zenith Kennedy (Respirator) case dating
I have the watch with this case. Movement number matches 1969, there is engraving by some previous owner on the case back with 1972 and from the factory 212D085. I wonder if 7-68 inside the case means July 1968? I looked into some dating threads but couldn’t find the answer in 30 minutes so I thought I will ask here.

Numbers 13-24 on Zenith Pocket Watch dial (after 1900)
Just got these two, the smaller looks typical (correct me if I am wrong), but the larger looks like more special (due to regulator). What about those numbers on the dial? Haven't received watches yet, but why do they look like stickers on the bigg…

I spotted this watch last year, but wasn’t sure if it’s anything interesting, so asked @Hartmut Richter about it and by his answer I got an idea that it’s not very common. So I managed to get this watch this weekend and thought I will share it here as well.

Besançon Zenith, 1959, papers & box
Hey all,
Continue readingsome years ago, I inherited, as it were, my grandpa’s watch. He was a baker in the town of Thiers in the dead center of France. It seems that on Christmas 1959, he wanted to treat himself, and he purchased a gold (plated?) Zenith from his local jewelry store.
I’ve had it for some years, but am now more interested in the exact details pertaining to the watch. From this great forum, and a few others, I gather that this watch, with case serial #91533 and movement serial # 622631, is…
Advice on an inherited watch
Hello,
Continue readingI have just inherited a watch from my father in law, I’m an Omega guy so have no knowledge of Zenith other than I do love this watch.
I think its a Zenith – Automatic cal. 2542 PC but could be very wrong,
I plan to get it fully serviced but the strap is around an inch too short for my wrist and after numerous searches i cant really find either a strap or links that give me proper measurements.
If someone could confirm the model that would be fantastic and any pointers to strap…
After 160 Years – The Story Begins (?)
Admittedly, this is a confusing advertisement, but maybe it will make sense after W&W. Zenith is celebrating their 160th year of manufacturing timepieces (since 1865), and they’ve begin flooding their social media with videos and pictures celebrating their past. Yesterday, I received an email highlighting important points in their history. Here is a video they posted a few months ago:
