Zenith Elite: Favourite from my personal collection
The Zenith Captain Elite is a favourite in my collection, and after many requests I will tell you all about this watch I have in my collection since 2014.
Price
The current Zenith Elite Classic costs € 6.000.
Reference
03.2020.670 and 03.3100.670/02.C922
Size
The steel case has a diameter of 40,5 millimeter and thickness of 8,5 millimeters.
Movement
The Elite, or Calibre 670, is reliable, functional and very nicely finished for an automatic movement in this price category. Development of the movement started in 1990 and it was presented in 1994, both as automatic and hand-wound. [AFB 20] It was meant to be a modular thin automatic movement that could be made 100% in-house.
#Zenith
Zenith was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle (Switzerland), where the company is still located. It was one of the first watch companies ever to combine all watchmaking crafts under one roof, thus creating what we now call the first real ‘manufacture’. In the sixties, Zenith created its masterpiece movement: the El Primero. Though it claims to be the first automatic mechanical chronograph movement, history proves a little different. Still, the El Primero is without a doubt one of the greatest movements ever made.
Why I chose it
I bought my Zenith Captain Elite in 2014 after seeing it during a visit to the Zenith manufacture in Le Locle. During that visit, I spoke to Jean-Frédéric Dufour before he left the company to become CEO at Rolex. He had been very involved in the creation process and showed me all those beautiful details. And I bet he hasn’t got a clue he actually sold me this one. But I love all the details even more than when I bought it.
