How about ZENITH Zenith's top-of-the-line mechanical watches brand introduction

Zenith originated in Le Locle, Switzerland, now belongs to the LVMH Group Watch Department, is the core technology brand of LVMH Watch Department, known as one of the real Swiss watch manufacturers, not only self-produced movements but also for Rolex, Patek Philippe, TAG Heuer, Bulgari and other brands to outsource movements, in 1969 launched the sensational El primero high-frequency movement, and in 1993 launched the thinnest movement Elite. However, during the quartz crisis of the 70s, Zenith also broke down, and it was only in 1978 that the production of mechanical watches resumed.
 
In the past, Zenith's product line naming was confusing, and the styles that could represent the brand were always vague, and the slightly impressive El Primero, Pilot, and Elite often overlapped with each other, so it must be True Love that can remember Zenith's product number. In general, the current El Primero is mainly a reproduction, mainly a popular product of the 60s that used chronograph movements; Pilot pilots are also replicas, and now they are more representative products of Zenith, and adhering to the road of "pilot replicas" will gain huge benefits; The Elite series, on the other hand, is mainly a dress watch, and the elegant small three hands are very popular in China.
 
Zenith has a long history of producing pilot's watches, and since 1939, the Montre d'Aéronef Type 20 has been the standard equipment on most French aircraft. In 2012, Zenith reproduced pilot's watches, and although many brands have pilot's watches, only Zenith can write "Pilot" on the dial, and each piece has an individual number. At Baselworld 2016, Zenith's Coffee Knight is highly recommended, with aged stainless steel and a rubber-lined leather belt, with the classic large crown of the pilot's watch, with a thick luminescent coating on the numerals, and the overall design is very retro, with the El Primero 4069 movement. The domestic public price of the Coffee Knight is 59,000 yuan, the public price of the 15-year Type20 bronze pilot is 48,000 yuan, and the public price of the basic pilot is 38,000 yuan.
 
There are a lot of good products in the Elite series, and the price is not high, and there are many choices around 340,000. At the Basel 2015 exhibition, Zenith launched an Elite 6150, which was the "best-looking" dress watch in Basel in many people's hearts, although the 42 mm diameter was larger than the general dress watch, but it was very close to the hands after getting started, the thickness of the 100-hour long self-produced movement was only 3.92 mm, the thickness of the whole watch was 10 mm, and the hour and minute hands were made of particularly slender lancet needles, which were particularly elegant, and the domestic public price was 52,200 yuan.
