Zenith 136

Hello!

Does anyone know where I could get a balance complete for a Zenith 136 movement?

 

Thank you!

I think eBay would probably be the best bet since it's a pretty old movement.  You could try Cousins and Otto Frei or Scotchwatch as well.

The 136 is a Martel movement which Universal Geneve also used for their chronographs- so I would image a UG balance would fit in a pinch.  You will need to determine which UG chronograph calibre (281, 283, 285, etc.) is the same as the Zenith 136 though.  Also important to make sure you get one with the right staff (Inca/non-Inca).

Thank you!

 

I found a link which says that Zenith 136 would be tha same with Universal 281, 381, 481...
