Zenith Vintage 55 limited edition in rose gold

Zenith at last added yet another member to its growing Vintage collection. Coming in a round case of 18 carat rose gold, the watch will be a good treat to those admiring classic design.

The Zenith Vintage 55, as you may have noticed, exploits the always winning combination of rose gold for the case, hands and indices and chocolate brown for the dial and leather strap.

Powered by the in-house Zenith caliber 689 automatic movement, which is 25 millimeters in diameter and 4 millimeters thick, the watch sports a polished 40 mm round case with prominent, satin-finished lugs.

Although the timepiece leaves a very good impression of understated elegance, there is one serious drawback to its design.

With its dauphine hour and minute hands, triangle hour indices and even the typeface of the Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock, the Zenith Vintage 55 looks terribily similar to the last year’s Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control 1833 Ultra Thin hand-wound watch!

Well, maybe that is the real reason why Zenith decided to limit the watch’s production to mere 100 units.
