A close up look at the new ladies collection from Zenith...

Zenith created watches for pilots beginning in the early 1900s, one of whom was famous aviator Louis Blériot, the first man to fly across the English Channel, in 1909. His navigational instrument of choice was a Zenith timepiece, about which he raved, “I am very satisfied with my Zenith watch that I generally use and […]

Unlike a diver’s watch or a grande complication, the “aviator’s watch” doesn’t so much define what it does (anymore) as what it stands for. The modern pilot’s watch would be more appropriately called “aviator style” watch, as it is no longer used by pilots to navigate an aircraft. Today, it stands for the romance of […]

A two-tone watch does not mean just any two tones. It means a white metal (usually steel), mixed with gold, either rose or yellow.

The El Primero is actually a movement rather than a particular model. In 1969, in the race to create the first automatic chronograph, only Zenith succeeded in designing a fully integrated movement, based around a column wheel. Noted for its high-frequency oscillations (and therefore greater accuracy), the 36,000 VPH mighty El Primero quickly became a […]
