Zenith

"With the new Elite calibre, Zenith returns to the roots of the Brand's traditional expertise and craftsmanship: a true watch manufacture capable of designing prestigious complicated movements in addition to reliable and accurate classic movements. To accomplish this, the brand has focused its attention on the famous Elite base calibre, introduced in 1994. While this three-hand movement has always been considered one of the most reliable on the market, until now it has been relegated to remaining in the shadow of its famous parent, the legendary El Primero chronograph. Wrongfully so, since this robust and versatile movement has flawlessly powered ultra-thin watches and diamond-set timepieces from the Zenith collection for twenty years. Determined to perfect its renowned qualities and unleash the nearly unlimited potential of its collections, the Manufacture now offers new touches of prestige and distinction to the Elite calibre."
