The Quintessential expression of that fusion of engineering and art can be seen in the Zero Gravity Tourbillon ,a movement whose tourbillion mechanism is secured by gyroscopic cage , a miniature adaptation of the system used to stabilize marine chronometer boats. A wonder to behold ,its graceful actions serve a higher purpose than simple vanity by keeping the escapement horizontal and practically eliminate rate fluctuations caused by gravity.
Making all the possibility is Zenith El Primero 8801, Two years after the calibre debuted in its defy case, Zenith welcomes the movement into the academy , its flagship collection dedicated to haute horology .
The hour/minute display abuts a slightly larger opening for the zero G mechanism ,forming a figure eight on the guilloche dial . According to the company, the symbol is something of a good luck charm .The dial also includes a small seconds display positioned diagonally across from the offset crown at 2:00.
Available in white or rose gold, the Zenith Academy Zero Gravity Tourbillon’s case features a transparent case back for an unobstructed view of the self-winding movement.
