Zenith Elite Watches

Manufacture Zenith revisits its own past from the perspective of the present through the Elite collection. This line presents unisex automatic watches, uncluttered and minimalist but with a strong graphic identity. Confident in its timeless lines and proportions, the Elite collection does not repeat the past, but rather rejuvenates the codes of mid-20th century watchmaking. These models set the tone for Zenith's watchmaking vision of contemporary elegance.

Elite Classic

The Classic line creates a real spectacle of light and shadow, thanks to the dial pattern evoking the rays of the sun. Dressed up, this line is a nostalgic nod to the Zenith watches of the mid-20th century.

Elite Moonphase

Majestic in its tones and whimsical in its harmonious asymmetry, the Elite Moonphase line lifts the veil of night to bring out the enchanting beauty of the moon. The dial features a moon phase disc at six o'clock and offers an oversized display of the moon and gold stars. A timeless and elegant line.

Elite : A manufacture movement

Zenith collections are often named after the calibres they contain. In the case of this collection, it was the Elite that provided the name. For the record, the brand name also comes from the name of a movement, the Zenith calibre! The Elite calibre was a revolution when it came out. It was even voted calibre of the year in 1994. At that time, mechanical watches were regaining popularity after quartz watches had brought the Swiss watch industry to its knees in the 1970s and 1980s. It was an opportune time to develop and introduce a new mechanical movement. The Elite calibre is a pillar of the Zenith range. Like the El Primero, it belongs to the chronograph movements that are true emblems of the brand. Thanks to its extra-flat shape, the Elite movement fits into ultra-thin cases. It was also the very first movement in the Manufacture to benefit from computer-aided design. The advantage of this calibre is that it is modular and can indeed accommodate a good number of complications!
