Firstly Happynew to you all.

I have been given a zenith xl-tronic watch and no very little about it.
There is a number in the back 01 0020 505
The only thing I can find on line is that it uses some work of tuning fork??
Sorry for my total lack of knowledge regarding this.

I was told that it requires a service so I took it to a watch shop in Solihull and they quoted me 445 pounds to send it to zenith, money is tight after Christmas so I don't want to pay any more than the watch is worth.

Can any of you experts,collectors shed any light on my watch please.

Kind regards

Also any idea what the original strap looked like.

Welcome to our fine forum! After I Googled Zenith XL-tronic it returned 220,000 results. Among them the calibre used (ESA 9164 tuning fork) and the current market value, between EUR 390 and EUR 599 NOS. (= New Old Stock).

What do the numbers mean:

01 0020 505 ->

01 = is the case and band material (stainless steel and leather);
0020 = is the case and dial style;
505 = the type of movement used (a Bulova based ESA 9164 movement).

So I also have a question: which search engine did YOU use?
