A massive piece of history in a modern watch

the movement.

"Originally designed for marine chronometers and deck watches in the 1950s, the pocket watch–size 5011 series is perhaps the most accurate series of movements the brand has ever produced, and some were entered into the last chronometer competitions in the 1960s"

"The 5011 movement received an award in by the Neuchatel Observatory for being the most accurate chronometer ever"

Yes, a vintage inhouse Zenith movement used in an modern very limited watch ( they only had a few hundred movements left. Some )
Just like Panerai had the 21 with a vintage Rolex movement and the 203 with a vintage Angelus.
But this 5011 is afcourse an inhouse movement from the 1960's

very nice pics. thanks for sharing!

is it your watch? I think to remember your enthousiastic postings after having spotted it on this year's baselword.

BTW: a wrsitshot of this beast would be interesting to see.

Yes, it is mine. I ordered it the first day I read about it, that was about 8 or 9 months ago.
I started to save and cancelled a Panerai 425

finally an answer

thx

are they still available, or sold out

I know, an answer after months

They are sold out but you can always try. A frined of mine tried to got one and it was to late but they did put him on the list.
Months later they called and said there was one avaiable. I guess their first client didn't take it for some reason.

And ofcourse you can always buy second hand. A bit above list but imo very acceptable. I think they will become more expensive if all 250 are delivered
