I love the
vintage ZRC watches and I have just found a rare LeJour branded ZRC 300 divers
watch for the American market. ZRC has a
strong following for french and diving watch fans. What makes this reference so desirable is the
beautiful sunburst dial, this one being in excellent condition with perfectly
matching patina on the dial and hands. Combine that will an all red day/date
wheel and a faded two tone bezel and this makes for one uncommon, stunning
vintage tool watch. I have always love restoring watches and I am now waiting
for the watch to arrive and install a NOS bezel for it to bring it back to its
previous glory.
I have already
owned a ZRC spartaile but there are several differences:
The Day is in
English while the other one is in French.
This one is
named LeJour while the other is ZRC Spartiale
One is with 17
jewels and another 25 jewels
One more unique
feature is that there is a spelling mistakes for this as it is spelled Self
"Wimding", instead of Winding.
In addition,
look at the advant garde design for its watch case, which makes it a timeless
beauty. The constructions adhere to the principle of Forms follows Function and
these are tools watches made for diving and very few of these watches were made and it took me years
to find another piece.
