\nDescription:<\/strong> Unworn\u00a0Tritium\u00a0Zenith\u00a0Daytona\u00a0from\u00a0Italy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The case is in perfect, unworn condition. As the pictures show, this fantastic Zenith Daytona is unworn and therefore shows a perfect case, razor-sharp edges, and an equally perfect matte finish on the top of the case.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The unworn condition is further confirmed by the completely intact\u00a0caseback\u00a0sticker, including the original delivery sticker. The watch has been stored in its original\u00a0box\u00a0its entire life, which explains the occasional dust\u00a0from the yellow cushion on the delivery sticker.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The white Daytona dial still has its tritium\u00a0lume\u00a0applied and is, of course, in perfect condition. The\u00a0lume\u00a0has developed a slightly creamy patina. The hands are also perfect, with a patina that\u00a0perfectly\u00a0complements the dial.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0bezel\u00a0is\u00a0perfect\u00a0and\u00a0shows\u00a0no\u00a0signs\u00a0of\u00a0wear. The\u00a0sapphire\u00a0crystal\u00a0is\u00a0also\u00a0perfect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This fantastic Tritium Zenith Daytona will delight its new owner with its box and\u00a0papers. It\u00a0has been\u00a0sold in June 1998 by\u00a0rolex\u00a0authorized dealer\u00a0BOGLIETTI GIOIELLIERE in\u00a0Biella (LC 170, Italy). The original accessories are in excellent condition, including the period-correct booklet in Italian, translation, and the original red seal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 78390 Oyster bracelet with correct 503B end links is, like the watch itself, unworn. It comes with all\u00a0links\u00a0and the sticker on the clasp is still intact; only the red color has faded slightly over the decades. Naturally, this is also the original bracelet for the watch, with clasp code Z8 for August 1997.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion: A perfect, unworn Zenith Daytona in tritium. Why do I emphasize this? Because most unworn Zenith\u00a0Daytonas\u00a0are of the latest version (late U to P series). Earlier versions with tritium\u00a0lume\u00a0have become\u00a0very rare.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
