A stunning example of horological history, this silver-cased hunter pocket watch was manufactured by Billodes (the early brand of Zenith) specifically for the Ottoman market. The dial features high-quality white enamel with intricate floral hand-painting and traditional Ottoman/Turkish numerals. The movement is a high-grade "Billodes" mechanical caliber, wound and set by the included original-style key. The case back is beautifully hallmarked, including the "0.800" silver purity mark and the iconic Billodes crest. This is a rare collector's piece that bridges Swiss precision with Eastern aesthetic history.
