Stainless steel "Zenith Daytonas" (16520) are among the most popular Daytona models—especially early examples like the MK1 and MK2, which now command over £50k—two-tone versions of the Zenith Daytona are, in our opinion, still grossly underappreciated. The watch we have here dates to 1995 and features a striking champagne MK3 ‘inverted 6’ dial with black subdial rings.
There is some minor aging around the 3 and 6 o’clock subdials—common for this reference—which adds to the watch's character. All of the tritium lume is intact and has aged to a beautiful creamy hue.
