Zenith
Zenith has been making watches since 1865. The company still makes its own movements.
It has three mechanical movement families. Two of them are:
- El Primero - an automatic chronograph movement, developed in 1969, that has 36,000 alternations per hour (10 alternations per second).
- Elite - an automatic movement developed in 1994.
The Rolex Daytona used a Zenith movement until 1998.
