A striking early Zenith Kennedy, reference A747, dating from 1967 and powered by the desirable in-house calibre 2532C manual wind movement. With its crisp architectural square case, minimalist grey sunburst dial and sharply faceted applied hour markers, the Kennedy is one of Zenith's most distinctive designs of the late 1960s and an increasingly sought-after alternative to more conventional dress watches.
This example is accompanied by its original Zenith presentation box and original international guarantee booklet dated 1967, confirming it as an early example of this iconic model. It also retains its original Zenith signed buckle, while benefiting from a newly fitted brown lizard grain leather strap for everyday wear.
The stainless steel case remains in honest, unpolished condition, retaining its original sharp lines and brushed finish. The original grey dial displays beautifully and shows only a handful of minor age-related marks, entirely consistent with its age and adding to its authenticity. The acrylic crystal has light scratches commensurate with careful use over the years.
At its heart is Zenith's in-house calibre 2532C manual wind movement, one of the brand's reliable and well-regarded hand-wound calibres. The watch is running well at the time of listing.
