Up for sale is a Zenith Grande Elite Dual Time from 2008 with some interesting provenance. It belonged to the actor and dialect coach Andrew Jack who was featured in the Star Wars trilogy and also worked on Lord of the Rings. The watch is in very good used condition.
Though it's service history is unknown it keeps very good time and functions as it should. It comes complete with box and papers and two straps. The watch does show signs of wear but should clean up very well should you choose to do so. Some light surface scratches and scuffs are present. The original crocodile strap is well worn and the clasp shows some damage as it is missing its star on the clasp.
It's rhodium plated with Cotes de Geneve embellishment, and it has a guilloche textured oscillator segment. It's constructed with a straight-line lever escapement, a shock absorber device, and a hacking seconds function for precision time setting. It includes a self-compensating free-sprung balance spring, and the mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). The original owner was Andrew Jack who is a well known dialect coach and actor. Jack appeared in Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi as General Ematt, as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.
Andrew Jack also created the Middle-earth accents for Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood in the Lord Of The Rings films.
