Despite the fact that the global sanitary situation (which struck the industry quite hard in 2020) still prevents brands to expose their new collection physically, with traditional watch fairs, the past week has been quite intense for the LVMH Watch Division. Indeed, 3 of the group’s brands (Bvlgari, Hublot & Zenith) digitally presented some new […]
This year, Zenith is showcasing its latest releases in an exclusive one-week online event together with other brands from the LVMH Group. In addition to the all-new Chronomaster Sport and Chronomaster Revival A385 watches, the company is releasing the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Silver Chronograph, the Le Locle-based watchmaker’s first-ever Pilot Chronograph model crafted from […]
Watch brands of the LVMH group present their novelties for 2021 in an online, one-week event from the 25th – 29th of January. Among the novelties Zenith will be presenting is a new ceramic colour for the case of its Defy 21, the brand’s fastest chronograph in production. Decked out this year in khaki green […]
The Zenith Chronomaster has spawned numerous versions and generations since it was originally presented at the 1994 Basel fair. More than 20 years later, this sports chronograph has become one of the brand’s key collections. Today, it is the most emblematic expression of the iconic El Primero movement. As 2021 kicks off, Zenith unveils a […]
Even after more than 50 years of loyal services, the El Primero remains one of the most fascinating movements to be manufactured. With its column-wheel architecture, its high-frequency, and multiple small but necessary upgrades, it has managed to stand the test of time. In 2019, for its 50th-anniversary, Zenith commemorated this legendary calibre with multiple […]
The El Primero, Zenith’s historical and undoubtedly iconic movement, needs little introduction. Launched in 1969, it was amongst the very first automatic chronograph movements introduced by the watch industry, and with original specifications, having a column wheel, a horizontal clutch and, mostly, a high frequency of 5Hz. But that’s about the engine. There were watches […]
Last year Zenith launched an unprecedented version of its Chronomaster A384 inspired by the Japanese manga and anime series Lupin the Third. It was unprecedented because this black and grey model only existed in the ‘fictionalised’ realm of gentleman-thief Lupin’s universe. Although brands like Seiko are at home producing watches dedicated to characters from Japanese […]
The Defy Classic gets a full carbon jacket and becomes the first automatic watch to boast an integrated carbon fibre bracelet. Weighing in at just 65 grammes, half that of a similar model in titanium, the Defy Classic Carbon sets a new benchmark in lightness. With its novel black carbon fibre case and bracelet, this […]
Zenith celebrated an important milestone last year when the world’s first high-frequency automatic chronograph movement, the El Primero calibre, turned fifty. Following the introduction of the calibre in 1969, a trilogy of watches was released bearing the winning chronograph movement. One of these was the famous reference A384. With its tonneau-shaped case and panda dial, […]
Zenith dresses its hyper-high-frequency Defy 21 chronograph in sharp black & white attire.

Zenith’s answer to the El Primero chronograph for the 21st century, the Defy 21 offers breakneck speed […]
