Zenith A3634

Why We Love It We are lucky enough at Analog/Shift to get our hands on very rare pieces and this Zenith Diver World Timer A3634 is certainly one of them.  Dating from the early 1970s, this piece is truly a time capsule; its dial and bezel remain near mint. Rarely seen, its royal blue coloring is truly something to behold. Fitted with the Automatic Zenith Calibre 2562, its a perfect example of Zenith's non-chronograph lineage, and a beauty on the wrist! The Story When you stare at vintage watches all day, you tend to see past the glitz and the glam of the oft-heralded 'icons' and begin to appreciate the understated timepieces that are generally passed over.   Take Zenith's non-chronograph line, for example.  While many enthusiasts are familiar with contemporary examples from the Swiss manufacture, the early executions are largely overlooked.  Zenith has long been acknowledged for producing many, if not all, of their watches in-house - a tradition that persists today. The Le Locle Manufacture, founded in 1865, is still leading the industry in technical innovation, a claim they could fairly state from their earliest days.
