Zenith Open-Face Pocket Watch

This is a vintage Zenith open-face pocket watch, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century (circa 1930s-1950s). The timepiece features a circular gold-toned case, which appears to be either gold-plated or potential solid gold, though a hallmark check on the interior case back would be required for confirmation. The dial is a clean white enamel or white-painted metal with prominent black Arabic numeral hour markers. It is signed 'ZENITH' below the 12 o'clock position. The watch follows a classic sub-second configuration with a dedicated small seconds sub-dial located at the 6 o'clock position. The hands appear to be a blued steel or dark finish, including a thin sub-seconds hand. The crystal seems intact, though some surface micro-scratching may be present consistent with age. At the top, the watch features a grooved winding crown and a circular bow for attachment to a chain. The case shows signs of gentle wear, particularly a slight patina and faint scratches on the polished bezel. The overall craftsmanship is indicative of Zenith's historically high standards for precision Swiss movements. The item is held by a hand in the photograph, providing a scale that suggests a standard pocket watch size, approximately 45mm to 50mm in diameter.
