FS: Unique Movado-dial Sporto (c. 1971-1983) featuring Zenith 2562C Movement

[watchlooker101]

Here for your consideration is a unique Movado-dialed Sporto featuring a Zenith movement.

This watch dates to sometime between 1971 and 1983 based on the serial number, and is a great example of the historical collaboration between Movado and Zenith.

What is unusual about this Sporto is that it features a Movado dial; most examples of the Sporto watch feature a Zenith dial.

For its age, the watch is in very good condition. Notably, the dial is impeccable—it features no imperfections that I can see and the hands still contain their lume. The crystal has various minor scratches on it, but as you can see from the pictures it is hardly noticeable. The gold plating has scratching and wear consistent with its age, but overall it is a beautiful watch.

The watch is gold-plated, has a date complication, and features Zenith’s 2562C manual wind movement that contains 17 jewels.

The service history is unknown, but the watch appears to be keeping great time. The movement looks to be in great shape and watching it function while under power did not reveal anything concerning.

The watch comes with a brand new, unworn dark blue leather strap. (The strap the watch came with will be included, although it is not in good condition. I’m unsure whether that strap is original to the watch or was an aftermarket purchase.)

I've bought/sold on this site and on WUS under the same username.

I believe this watch has a 35mm case and it has a 18mm watch band width.

I am asking $550 shipped via USPS Priority Mail to CONUS.
