Zenith is particularly known for the El Primero movement, which was introduced in 1969. This automatic chronograph movement was the first to reach an oscillation frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (vibrations per hour). This provided exceptionally high accuracy and a measurement of 1/10 of a second.

Zenith company history:

Zenith was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle, Switzerland. In 1911, Zenith received one of the highest prizes in watchmaking, the "Neuchâtel Observatory Chronometer," highlighting recognition for its outstanding precision.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Zenith experienced a period of economic uncertainty, but they survived this period and were then able to introduce the revolutionary El Primero movement. Although production of the El Primero movement was briefly halted, it was later reinstated and remains a Zenith trademark today.

The brand has experienced various ups and downs over the years, but its ability for technical innovation and dedication to precision have made Zenith a respected force in the world of luxury watches. The combination of traditional watchmaking and modern technology continues Zenith as a leading brand in the watch industry.
