Zenith Stellina Gold

Zenith has long stood among the pillars of Swiss watchmaking excellence, founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle with the revolutionary vision of uniting all watchmaking crafts under one roof. Renowned for precision and refinement, the brand’s legacy reaches from observatory chronometer triumphs to the groundbreaking El Primero movement. Yet beyond its technical feats, Zenith has also produced elegant timepieces defined by pure design and understated sophistication — such as this refined 1980s Zenith “Stellina.”

Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this watch embodies the timeless minimalism of the late twentieth century. Its sunburst champagne dial catches the light beautifully, while the applied black baton indexes and slim matching hands offer striking contrast and superb legibility. The discreet date window at 4:30 adds practical functionality without disturbing the dial’s perfect symmetry, and the iconic Zenith star beneath 12 o’clock evokes the maison’s enduring pursuit of precision and excellence.

Completing the look, a black lizard leather strap enhances the refined vintage charm of the watch, balancing elegance with subtle character. Inside ticks a precise Swiss automatic movement, a testament to Zenith’s consistency through the quartz era. A beautifully preserved dress piece from the end of 70s, the Zenith Stellina in solid gold remains a symbol of quiet luxury — sophisticated, timeless, and distinctly Zenith.
