Zenith Port RoyalZenith has an outstanding reputation for high quality watches. Thus far, the company has won more than a thousand and a half awards for precision. The watchmaker offers several watch collections both to men and women.
The Zenith Port Royal Collection is one of the most popular collections of the brand. It includes timepieces with rectangular and round cases, designed to be suitable for every occasion and outfit. Even choosy customers will find what they need – Zenith Port Royal watches are made from a variety of materials, including steel, gold and titanium, while dial and straps variations are innumerable.

The company equips its Zenith Port Royal timepieces with the El Primero movement. It should be noted that Zenith is one of the few watchmaking companies producing its own automatic movements. The Zenith EL Primero is the only movement in the world which beats 36000 times per hour. Due to this extremely high vibration rate, the chronograph is accurate to one tenth of a second.

Zenith has recently introduced a few avant-garde Zenith Port Royal timepieces. The Mega Port Royal Tourbillon, unveiled at Baselworld 2008, features a titanium case with a skeleton dial covered with a grill. It seems that the watchmakers wanted to complicate admiring of the movement, though they were probably inspired by the watches which were worn by soldiers during the First World War. The grill was designed to protect the glass crystal.
The case of the new Zenith Mega Port Royal Open Concept is made of black titanium, while the dial is crafted from an extremely strong material, developed using space-based technologies. The timepiece was inspired by steel buildings of New York.
The last new timepiece of the collection is the Zenith Mega Port Royal Grande Date Open Concept, a remodeled version of the Port Royal Open Concept.

A Glorious Come-back: Patek Philippe Nautilus

Patek Philippe NautilusSometimes watches that were once popular make a come-back. This is true for the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch, which was first launched in 1976. Looking for inspiration for a watch with a strong personality, the watchmakers of the company found it in an unusual object – a porthole. The shape of this small window in a ship’s side turned out to be the perfect one for the case of the new model.
The original Patek Philippe Nautilus watch stunned the public. At the time, practically all luxury watches were made from gold and came with slim cases. The design of the timepiece radically departed from the norms of that time – the watch was made from stainless steel and had an unusually shaped large case. However, the unconventional design only contributed to the popularity of the Patek Philippe Nautilus.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the timepiece, the watch manufacturer introduced the new Patek Philippe Nautilus watch line. The timepieces have retained their original spirit, though their design has gone through some changes. The case of the modern watch is 1 mm larger than the case of its 1976 predecessor – it now measures 43mm instead of 42 in diameter. Probably, the watchmakers of the brand followed the recent trend for making large or extra-large cases. The new case consists of three parts – a screw-down crown and a screwed case back with a sapphire crystal exhibition window. The construction of the case guarantees water-resistance to 120 meters. The Patek Philippe Nautilus is powered by the Caliber 315 SC, a movement consisting from 220 parts and having a power reserve of 46 hours. In addition to the hours, minutes and seconds, the dial of the watch displays the date in a small window at 3 o’clock.
