ZENITH Defy Ref. A3648 Plongeur – 1960
Introducing the Zenith A3648 Plongeur, one of the rarest Zenith divers, alongside models like the A3630 and the S.58. This exceptional timepiece is not only revered for its rarity but also for the authentic story and character it carries. With a beautifully aged patina that extends from the dial to the hands, lume, and bezel, this watch captures the essence of a true tool watch, lending it an undeniable charm and vintage appeal. The stainless steel case, in good vintage condition, measures a substantial 40mm, giving the watch a robust wrist presence. The wide-set bezel, with its patina, complements the overall vintage aesthetic perfectly. The dial exhibits an even aging across the hands and lume, creating a harmonious and balanced look. The simple Zenith logo, paired with silver indexes and hands, enhances the clean and elegant design. Equipped with the original crown and powered by the reliable Caliber 2552 PC automatic movement, this watch is in full working condition, keeping time accurately, with the date advancing as it should. The vintage rubber strap, in unworn condition, adds to its authenticity. As one of the rarest Zenith divers ever made, the A3648 Plongeur is a true WRISTCLASSIC and a coveted tool watch for collectors.
