In Response To: Re: How Does It Get the Name, "De Luca"? ()


I was always puzzled by this name. And, of course, I showed the confusion between Lo Duca and De Luca!!

My favorite Zenith (shown below) seems to have no name at all . . . sometimes called a "146", sometimes called a "Pilot" chronograph. It all gets easier to track when the manufacturer puts a model name on the dial.

: Zenith watches, he placed an order for these watches, black with
: white sub dials and white with black subdials. They were only
: made for the Italian market.
