The development of this collection has been led by technical and chronometric achievement – just as it was 50 years ago. The case is enlarged to its present-day size of 40 mm. All the expertise of watchmaking– technique, chronometric performance, and aesthetics – is integrated into these three creations that make clear allusions to historic timepieces, with dauphine hands, facetted with rhodium-plating and long markers that are hand-set. The 2011 collection holds true to the course of the original models. The new collection is enriched with three models with complications: Power reserve, Moonphase and Second time zone.The three new models are inspired by the Captain line created in 1952, a leading collection of Zenith automatic watches. It encompasses an expertise that, like navigation at sea, is passed on from one generation of watchmaker to the next within the Locle Manufacture. Captain is also a collection that embodies the highest expression of Zenith'S watchmaking heritage. Nothing of the art and skill of navigation at sea could remain a mystery to the man who aspired to this position. Press Release The purest expression of the Zenith watchmaking heritageCaptain: the very name calls up flights of fancy!
