        Through the years, the name Zenith started to be associated with the pinnacle of watch-making achievement and mastery, and to support this statement, we only have to mention the creation of probably the best chronograph movement in the world- the legendary, El Primero Caliber along other 50 different movements of immaculate quality, that have brought Zenith over 1500 international awards.

        Every timepiece created by this brand, is far more than a simple timekeeping companion, it is a piece of today’s finest horological art, extremely appreciated by worldwide watch connoisseurs and enthusiast collectors. Recently the brand brought another outstanding addition to Zenith Class Collection, the remarkable Zenith Class New Vintage 1955 Chronometer, a superb timepiece that delicately embraces a true gentleman’s wrist, conferring it a plus of distinction and elegance, first introduced at Baselworld 2008.

        A classy wristwatch designed to please the brand’ selective clientele, Zenith Class New Vintage 1955 Chronometer is the perfect combination between style purity and masculine unadorned sobriety- a superb vintage model, the watch makes a clear statement about its owner’s taste for sheer luxury. The timepiece was created to pay a great tribute to one of the most successful of the Zenith watches, animated by the legendary 135 caliber, which has won, for 5 years in a row the prestigious Neuchatel Chronometry Observer Award.

         The new Zenith Class New Vintage 1955 Chronometer surprises both through its wonderfully balanced, stylish looks, and through its mechanical sophistication.
