Description

Zenith has been known for precision and accuracy throughout their history. Dating back to the '70s, this present example has seen several iterations. While many are familiar with the 28800 model, this model stands out with the "surf" engraving on the caseback. Surf is the Zenith indicator for water-resistant. This example is simple but durable and perfect for any occasion.
