A Super Cool and Very Collectable 'Solar Eclipse' Zenith XL-Tronic with a Quartz Movement and Gold Capped Case, c.1970s

The Zenith XL-Tronic watch, introduced in the early 1970s, marks a significant chapter in horological history. As quartz technology emerged, Zenith sought to merge traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. The XL-Tronic series was one of the brand's first ventures into electronic watches.

What's on Offer

Who says Quartz ain't cool? This is the epitome of cool! Just look at that stunning radial gradient dial, it looks like a solar eclipse!

The applied dial furniture comprises chunky baton hour markers with luminous inserts and stick hands with luminous inserts.

A subtle date aperture between 4 and 5 o'clock and the dial is completed with the Zenith signature and applied emblem.

The extra large (40mm) unusually shaped case is gold capped with a brushed texture, the gold brings out the warmth of the dial and gives the watch an opulent aesthetic.

The watch has a real style and presence on the wrist and will almost certainly inspire admiring glances, the Zenith XL-Tronic remains a collector’s item today -  an unusual and rare timepiece, a real statement!
