Depends upon "host" frame!
Zeus equipment was often seen on bikes using French threading as well as BSC threaded bikes, so could be either direction!
French/metric threading (As well as Italian) are removed counterclockwise...
BSC /British are removed by turning clockwise.
To further complicate things for the home mechanic, if the fixed cup was installed properly, with Campag or similar tool, it will be a beast to remove no matter which threading, as it is really really tight!!
