ZENITH exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams and make them come true – against all odds. Since its establishment in 1865, ZENITH became the first watch manufacture in the modern sense of the term, and its watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible. Zenith's two most celebrated in-house movements, the El Primero chronograph and the ultra-thin Elite, have cemented the company's position as an outstanding Swiss Watch maker.
This impressive timepiece features a 41mm case, exquisitely crafted from 18ct rose gold. The dial features rose gold hands and indexes and three small dials, including: a central chronograph hand that makes one turn in 10 seconds, 60-minute counter at 6 o'clock, 60-second counter at 3 o'clock and date window at 4 o'clock.
