We would like to introduce you to an antique pocket watch from Zenith, a Swiss company founded in 1865.

"Billodes" is another Zenith brand, and it seems to have been sold under the "Billodes" brand in some countries, such as Austria and Turkey.
This is a circa 1913 silver side full hunter case mechanical pocket watch.
Both lids are beautifully carved and feature a gold-colored cartouche bearing a monogram, believed to be the initials of the first owner.
This type is rare for Zenith and is a thick, antique-looking watch.

The overhaul history is unknown, and it has poor initial movement and may move poorly depending on the posture.
It works fine when laid flat, so we are selling it as is.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!

【condition】
Appearance: ★★★★☆ Excellent condition with no noticeable scratches or stains

Function: ★★★☆☆ Minor defects but still in usable condition (within 10 minutes per day)

・Case: There is some wear over time, but it is in good condition with no noticeable scratches or dents.
The mechanism for opening the lid by pressing the crown is smooth thanks to the spring.
- Case engraving: Swiss 900 silver engraved on the inside of the inner lid
・Dial: In very good condition with no cracks or missing letters.
・Other: The initial movement is poor, so you will need to shake it lightly after winding the spring.
The posture difference is large and the movement is unstable depending on the posture.
- Accuracy: Approximately 5 minutes per day when measured with a flat timegrapher
Power reserve: Confirmed up to 40 hours from full spring

*The daily rate may vary depending on posture, so please use this as a guide only.
*Because it is an old item, I do not know the history of parts replacement or repairs.
