ZENITH

Introduced in 1969, the El Primero was one of the first automatic chronograph movements, beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5Hz) - twice the speed of most movements. This high frequency allows for 1/10th second precision, making it the most accurate series-produced chronograph movement ever created.

Authentic Zenith watches feature high-quality Swiss movements, distinctive case construction, and precise finishing. Key authentication points include proper serial numbers, movement specifications, the distinctive Zenith star logo, and construction quality.
