REPAIR & SERVICE
Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar
Gray & Sons Jewelers, located in Miami Beach, Florida is an independent watch service center, repairing Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar watches since 1980.
Elegant, accurate, and timeless design.
An important watch manufacturer as Zenith is always looking for new challenges and opportunities to keep on amazing us creating new movements or developing new functions.
In this very interesting timepiece, Zenith has joined forces with the Musee International d’Horlogerie to design a new watch based on the proven El primero movement.
The new Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar is a notable collaboration by Ludwig Oechslin, curator of the Musee International d’Horlogerie with Zenith.
Ludwig has designed a simple and elegant annual calendar complication that Zenith has integrated into the reliable 36,000 vph El Primero movement. The result is amazing, creating this simple and easy-to-read annual calendar built into a very reliable chronograph movement.
The watch measures a nice 42mm, not too big but surely it is not a small watch, making it a very handsome luxury men’s dress watch.
The Zenith Captain Winsor features an automatic Zenith El Primero movement caliber 4054 with Arabic numerals on its dial and displays central chronograph seconds, continuous seconds at 9 o’clock, and a 60-minute totalizer at 6 o’clock offering excellent readability. The movement is beautiful and easy to admire through the sapphire crystal case-back, a perfect choice for watch collectors.
Do you want to know something amazing about the calendar module of the movement?
It has only nine parts with three concentric discs to make this annual calendar work! This minimalist and perfectly integrated designed movement involves only nine moving parts when in most other annual calendars you would require between 30 and 40. Meaning that with fewer components and parts, there are fewer possible technical and service issues.
The new Captain Winsor Annual Calendar is 42mm in diameter size, with a thickness of 13.85mm. Its front and case back are anti-reflective sapphire crystal and the watch comes on a brown alligator leather strap with either stainless steel or rose gold triple-folding clasp making it a very elegant dress watch.
The Captain Winsor Annual Calendar Chronograph is available in stainless steel on strap priced at $8,700 and in rose gold on strap priced at $18,800.
Each watch is a new challenge for us at Gray and Sons Jewelers..
Gray and Sons received the watch from a collector that was concerned about his watch. It was not keeping time as it used to and although it was not his everyday timepiece, he wanted the watch to be accurate while wearing it.
We spoke and explained what we do at our workshop, and the customer told us that he was aware as he had seen some videos and read blogs about our repair department so he was sure we could handle this job well for him.

After Gray and Sons, ready to reassemble the timepiece
The whole process will take 4 to 6 weeks.
STEP 1: DISASSEMBLY
We will start with disassembling the watch and give the case and buckle to our polishers to polish and make it look almost like new.
STEP 2: CLEANING
One of our 6 Swiss-trained master watchmakers will start working on the movement, taking all the movement apart. Then we will clean movement with 3 different cleaning solutions. These will remove all dried lubrication, small broken parts, and all other debris built up through the years.
STEP 3: REPLACEMENT OF WORN OR DAMAGED COMPONENTS
Each individual component will be closely examined even using an electronic microscope if needed, we will adjust part by part, and replace any if necessary, so the movement will run accurately and look perfect. This includes re-lubrication of the complete movement with special oils.
STEP 4: REASSEMBLY AND REAPPLICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Once the lubrication process is finished, we will assemble the watch and add new lubrications. We will replace all the gaskets to make sure that your watch is water-resistant and has an appropriate amplitude, is accurate, the self-winding is working and the power reserve is as originally designed. We will do all these using computers, testing machines, and special tools.
STEP 5: QUALITY CONTROL
Once we finish servicing your watch, it's time to quality control your timepiece. We will put it on a winding wheel, which simulates the wrist motion. We will keep it in the wheel for up to 10 days for quality control, checking the automatic function and winding in multiple ways, as well as checking the power reserve after that. We also test for timekeeping so when it leaves our boutique, it leaves almost like when it left the factory.
STEP 6: WARRANTY
After the service is done, your watch will come with a 12-month warranty.
