The Zenith El Primero was confined to shelves and this was the time when Zenith witnessed a steep downfall. And this happened because Zenith Radio Corporation wanted to switch its focus on the production of quartz movements. A similar fate followed the Zenith, in the year 1975 Zenith El Primero went out of production. After the debut in 1969, many of the Seiko's calibres went out of production which included calibre 6139 and Caliber 11. The year 1969 was a major turning point for many of the watch brands including Seiko. This Zenith automatic chronograph movement was unveiled in the year 1969 and its iconic high-frequency movement had the capability of beating 36,000 vibrations per hour, enabling precise time measurements which were nearly accurate to the 1/10th of a second. Much of Zenith's success came with the debut of this legendary calibre, which featured an integrated automatic column-wheel chronograph movement. No matter how many discussions might have ruled, but to ascertain the fact, Zenith was the creator of the very first Swiss-made, fully integrated automatic chronograph - the Zenith El Primero. There have been a lot of debates ruling over the creator of the first automatic chronograph. It was the watch brand which created the first automatic chronograph. Many top watch brands were working day and night to strike the markets with newer innovations to achieve a monopoly in the watch arena.īut the watch brand which finally struck the said achievement was -Zenith.
When the world saw the Russians and Americans compete to put their men in space, the watch industry witnessed a completely different scenario - everyone was sprinting to achieve the landmark of debuting first automatic chronograph. Zenith hit the arena of watch manufacturing in the year 1865, traversing a long haul journey of almost 150 years.
