II · The line
Zenith Defy
Zenith introduced the Defy collection in 1969, the same year as the El Primero calibre. The original Defy established a distinctive angular design that the brand later revisited in its Revival watches.
III · The manufacture
Zenith since 1865
Georges Favre-Jacot founded the manufacture behind Zenith in Le Locle in 1865. Bringing watchmaking trades together in one place made coordinated production its starting idea. The high-frequency automatic El Primero chronograph appeared in 1969. When mechanical production was threatened in 1975, Charles Vermot preserved the tooling and plans. Those saved resources enabled El Primero production to resume in 1984. The slim Elite movement introduced in 1994 added another manufacture family. Zenith joined LVMH in 1999, where it remains a watchmaking house. Its manufacture in Le Locle continues to design and make mechanical movements.

IV · Ownership
Wearing and caring
- 1
An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.
- 2
Water resistance of 100 m and more is for swimming. Keep the crown screwed or pushed in, and do not use the pushers under water.
- 3
Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
- 4
Leather does not like water or perfume: put perfume on before the watch.
