Brief review of five watches featuring Zenith in-house movements

　　In 1962,ZENITHIt was decided to design a movement with a chronograph function to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the manufacture, a creation that ultimately influenced the entire Swiss watchmaking industry. After a long period of research and development, Zenith created the world's first automatic chronograph movement with a high frequency of 36000 vibrations per hour in 1969, achieving a chronograph accuracy of 1/10 of a second. ZENITH named this movement El Primero, which means "the first" in Spanish. Below, I will introduce several watches equipped with Zenith's in-house movements.
