Dial is a modern interpretation of a 1940's "Scientific" design. Many watch companies had similar dials.

This one looks like it was redialled recently.

Hope this helps,

I'd agree with the above post as well. Hard to tell if Zenith ever had that design. It's similar to some IWC dials that looked like that.

I still did not found in archives about this Zenith dial.
On the Internet I found the Omega from 1942 with a similar dial?!

The Omega dial you are showing is definitely refinished.
