Zenith | El Primero Captian

Zenith, founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, is renowned for its precision and innovation in watchmaking. The brand gained worldwide recognition with the introduction of the El Primero movement in 1969, which was one of the first automatic chronograph movements. The El Primero has since become a cornerstone of Zenith's identity, known for its high-beat frequency and exceptional accuracy.
