You have invested in a Zenith timepiece: you are now wearing 
a Manufacture watch that has been crafted in our workshops. 

Zenith is a member of a very select circle of authentic Swiss 
workshops which develop and produce their own movements 
from  start  to  finish.  We  have  been  crafting  our  watches 
from  the  same  location  since  1865.  Nestled  in  the  heart  of 
the  mountainous  valleys  of  Neuchâtel,  our  Manufacture 
is  situated  at  number  34,  Rue  des  Billodes  in  the  town  of 
Le Locle. 

Zenith has received over 2,333 chronometry awards, making 
it  one  of  the  most  widely-acknowledged  Swiss  brands  in 
terms  of  precision.  In  order  to  explore  our  passion  for  fine 
craftsmanship  in  more  detail,  please  visit  our  website  at  

www.zenith-watches.com

.  We  also  invite  you  to  sign  up 

as  a  Zenith  watch  owner;  this  will  provide  you  with  a  one-
year extension on your warranty. Your chronograph contains 
a  mechanical  movement  born  from  over  300  years  of 
watchmaking tradition. We ask that you look after it attentively 
and handle it with care throughout the setting process. 

Over  the  following  pages,  you  will  find  advice  about  using 
your watch and its functions. The functions available depend 
on the model.
