This vintage ZILA from the late 1940s to early 1950s reflects the practical, utilitarian watchmaking philosophy of post-war Switzerland — a period defined by reliability and everyday functionality. Featuring a creme dial with painted Arabic numerals, a chemin de fer minute track, and a recessed small seconds register at 6 o'clock, it is housed in a base metal case with a stainless steel caseback. An honest collector piece for enthusiasts of mid-century Swiss small-brand horology.
Highlights
Late 1940s – early 1950s Swiss manual-wind, 15 jewels
Reference 83567, stamped on the inner caseback
Creme dial with bold Arabic numerals and chemin de fer minute track
Small seconds sub-register at 6 o'clock
Caseback signed "Antimagnetic – Stainless Steel Back – Waterproof" (period designations)
Late 1940s Swiss Manual Wind
The watch is powered by a Swiss-made manual-wind movement with 15 jewels, of simple and robust architecture typical of the era. The inner caseback is stamped with the reference number 83567, "Acier Inoxydable", and "Swiss". The outer caseback features period engravings — "Antimagnetic", "Stainless Steel Back", "Waterproof" — which should be understood as historical marketing designations rather than indicators of modern performance.
Creme with painted Arabic numerals, chemin de fer minute track, small seconds at 6
