History
The Zenith Elite collection was launched in 1994 and won the “Best Movement of the Year” when it was revealed at Baselworld in 1994. After a few years, Zenith decided to stop the production of the Elite collection primarily due to the fame of the ‘El Primero’. But in 2015, Zenith decided to revive the collection fitted with its in-house movement further broadening the spectrum of watches offered by Zenith.
Design
With clean lines and sleek silhouettes, the Elite collection defines the ethos of Zenith. The Zenith Elite collection relieves itself from the complicated design aspect of the brand’s other collections. Instead, the Elite collection creates a sense of calmness, a courageous stance inclined towards the brand’s values. Equipped with the Elite movement, the collection is encased in a round case with Index markers. The opulent nature of this timeless collection makes it one of the most desirable watches in Zenith’s hangar.
Features
The Zenith Elite collection is equipped with complications such as Date and Moonphase. The Date and Moonphase collection are fixed at the 6 o’clock marker and provide a perfect vantage point for reading time. For women, the diamond-set bezel encapsulates the bling and shine required for the seamlessly opulent nature of the collection.
