Notes

Project Z1 Launched in 2004, the Project Z1 introduced three world firsts in watchmaking: its material, Zalium, until then only used in aerospace technology; its automatic chronograph movement with off-centered triple retrograde display; and its case, whose famous arcs were moved to 3 o?clock to serve as a crown guard.
