• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

My guess would be a Martel 16 (second series) which is more or less the same as the UG 339. Thanks to my friend GT from Florence Italy for this catalog page. Martel made movements for both Zenith and UG. In the end, in the late '50s or early '60s, I believe that Zenith bought Martel.
