What about it

What sets the AutoSport Luxe apart is its daring 'shark teeth' pattern on the outer seconds track, a brilliant design choice that adds a touch of avant-garde flair.

Transport yourself to the late 1960s and early '70s, a time when Zenith was not only crafting iconic El Primeros but also unveiling their prowess in the creation of sport watches, including the AutoSport line. The AutoSport series embodies the quintessential 1970s design ethos - a vertically elongated tonneau-shaped case, a sleek dial, and the reliable heartbeat of an automatic movement. However, amid this era's typical charm, the 'Luxe' series emerges as a true standout, boasting a symphony of different colors and materials that redefine elegance. Available options were - blue, green, red, black, and gold.

What sets the AutoSport Luxe apart is its daring 'shark teeth' pattern on the outer seconds track, a brilliant design choice that adds a touch of avant-garde flair. Picture the mesmerizing dance of a vertically brushed inner dial, enclosed by a boldly painted wide track that infuses unparalleled character. The applied metal Zenith star logo and hour markers contribute a dash of sporty sophistication, elevating this timepiece to a league of its own.

Labeling this model as a mere workhorse would be an understatement, for within its refined exterior lies the robust and enduring self-winding caliber 2562PC movement. A testament to its resilience, this movement has demonstrated exceptional performance over the span of many decades, earning its stripes not only in this model but also in Defy series and other distinguished timepieces.
