ZENITH ULTRA ULTRA PERFECT RARE SIGNED ZENITH CASE 16 SIZE, "RR-56"C.P.R. RAILROAD APPROVED 21 JEWELS NOT A SCRATCH ANYWHERE!!!!!!    1955

SOLD IN 48 HOURS !!!!

Peter Kushnir Was the master time keeper for C.P.R railroads and recently passed away in Montréal (2018)...He told me the entire story of the Zenith RR as he solely was responsible for bringing this piece into Canada for CPR serviced. I wrote a published article about this model and here is a short part of it and it was approved by Peter himself before he passed away... A master has died but his legend is bigger than life!

Re Zenith pocket railroad extra RR ( a short excerpt from my article)

Peter Kushnir former CPR master watchmaker ordered 1000 Zenith pocket watches and were to be delivered to him in 4 months. He designed with Zenith the movement and the dials were to be 500 pieces Montgomery style enamel and 500 pieces Canadian dials  with the 24 hour inner Arabic numbers and those 24 hr dials were sent to the Canadian west coast under the care of Vern Pickersgill I believe Winnipeg Manitoba.
I just was at Peters place (2018 in Montréal Quebec) and we discussed the "RR-56"over an hour about Zenith and how he designed this movement. This is all in short I will be writing a complete essay shortly on the Zenith RR-56 extra pocket watch..

Cheers to all
Darlor watch... Darryl

There are 19 clean and inspected jewels to this B.W. Raymond Elgin model and notice all  jewels are in solid gold seated jewel settings. This is a double roller balance wheel model with a Breguet over coil hair spring and has been adjusted to  5 positions. The serial number for this Elgin  movement is 20,408,356 which places this gem to the year 1917. The chain  that comes with this up and down wind Elgin is Sterling silver and the FOB is a genuine American silver dollar from the year 1896!!!

When the small hand beneath the 12 position is all the way to "0" this means the mainspring is totally unwound and indicates it must be wound to keep this pocket watch going....this was a key feature for the railroads so they could trust their pocket watch would be spot on day and night.
