Remember I have mentioned about Zenith before? It is considered to be one of the oldest and watch manufacturing companies in the Swiss industry, and Swiss watches which also have a high fame in the world. We can say Zenith is one of the few watch companies with enough expertise to produce its own mechanical movements.
Now in order to celebrate its 40th anniversary of its legendary El Primero chronograph movement - the world’s first and only mechanical chronograph caliber capable of measuring independent time to 1/10th second - Swiss watchmaker Zenith will unveil a series of limited edition commemorative timepieces that span a range of the brand’s product line, including the Class, Port Royal, Chronomaster, and Defy collections. Scheduled for official introduction at Baselworld 2009, these Zenith 40th Anniversary watches display dials with a distinctive band and a shield that note the years 1969 through 2009.
The Zenith New Vintage 1969 “The Originals” watches are a distinctive highlight of the 40th Anniversary watch collection. The brushed stainless steel looks superb, particularly with the elegant polished edges that bring out the gleaming stalk-type chronograph pushers. The silvered dial is a unique combination of elegance and sport with its subtle sunburst finish, and contrasting blue subdial for the elapsed chronograph minutes. The two additional subdials, in black, are echoed nicely by the outer 60-minutes scale, and the tachymeter scale at the silvered edge of the dial brings out that essential element of speed so necessary for a classic sports chronograph. I couldn’t help but feel some nostalgic affection for the red central seconds hand, with its square luminous point.

Most gentlemen would dream of owning one Zenith watch which is elegant and chic enough show their elegance. Recently, Zenith takes to us a new travel watch within their Class collection. Called the Traveller Elite Multicity, this model has a rotating world time disc, that is adjustable via the crown at 10—by operating it, you can select a world reference city to be displayed at 12 (in accordance with where you are currently) and have an instant perspective on times across the globe.The aesthetics of this Zenith timepiece are distinctive. There’s a lot of elegance going on with the case, and the silvered guilloche dial; however, the somewhat psychedelic world time ring definitely has zip to it, which may not be for everyone. Then again, this IS Zenith after all–invariably, there has to be a statement of some sort, even with the brand’s more classical watches! You definitely can wonder how great it was!

Zenith is a famous France watch brand which was founded in 1865 in Le Locle, the heart of the Swiss watchmaking region, by Georges Favre-Jacot, who was then only 22 years old. His dream was to concentrate, unite and perform the art of watchmaking under one roof.
Also I learned that it is the only Swiss watchmaker to produce chronographs without outsourcing the movement, and to design and manufacture a complete line of mechanical movements and chronographs.Amongst these is the legen2009dary El Primero. Launched in 1969, it is the first integrated automatic chronograph movement in the history of watchmaking.
Heir to the finest Swiss watchmaking tradition, Zenith perpetuates it through a time-honored commitment to precision and quality. Today, more avid than ever for innovation and modernity, it is rising again, like a Phoenix, to hang its legendary star alongside those of the most prestigious watchmakers.
