1970 Zenith Super Sub Sea (Ref. A3736)

Zenith did a good job of breaking up the monotony in the dive watch world in the 60s and 70s. During this era, Movado and Zenith worked closely together to introduce innovative designs and advancement to the watch world, but due to their forward-thinking designs, they often received poor sales and inevitably resulted in low production numbers. Which of course, is why Zenith dive watches are so coveted by collectors, like the Zenith ref. A3736, this reference has a truly unique design but is rarely seen on the open market, especially in good condition. The ref. A3736 would make for a vibrant and durable daily driver.

This specific Zenith features the impressive 17 jewel Zenith 146-HP movement, which is also used in the Movado Super Sub Sea ref. 206-705-504 as well as a variety of other chronographs from this era. This was the last manual wind movement caliber by Zenith-Movado before being superseded by the automatic El Primero movement.
