Zenith has a long reputation for the quality and precision of their watches, with over 1 500 1st-place precision awards to date. Zenith is a true watch manufacturer using their factory in Le Locle, Switzerland to produce their own in-house movements. Their two movements are called Elite (standard movement) and the famous El Primero (chronograph). The El Primero, which was first released in 1969, was one of the first automatic chronograph movements. It has a frequency of 36,000 alternations per hour. This high rate allows a resolution of 1/10 of a second and a potential for greater positional accuracy over the more common standard frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour.
