Academy Zero Gravity tourbillonMoreover, just as the gyroscopic tourbillon offers a new twist on a device invented over two centuries ago, this tribute to horological tradition is enlivened by a number of original modern touches provided by the asymmetrical arrangement of the displays. The off-centred hours and minutes at 11 o’clock and the “Zero-G” Tourbillon module at 5 o’clock form the outline of a figure 8, a universal symbol of good luck and infinity; while the small seconds appears at 7.30 almost diagonally opposite the distinctively placed crown at 2 o’clock. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal plates on the front protect and enhance the visibility of the multilayered dial and its multiple indications along with the Zero-G module; while the transparent exhibition case-back ensures an optimal view of the stunning intricacies of the movement in operation.
The El Primero 8801 self-winding 43-jewel calibre powering the Academy Zero Gravity Tourbillon comprises a rotor in 950 PT platinum, as well as a 160-part gyroscopic carriage with 10 conical-geared wheels and 6 ball bearings. Like all Zenith El Primero movements, it naturally beats at the frequency of 36,000 vph, and offers a 50-hour power reserve.
Adjusted to the wrist by a black crocodile leather strap with silky alvazel calfskin lining and an 18-carat gold triple folding clasp, the Academy Zero Gravity Tourbillon comes in a choice of white or rose gold. All models are individually numbered.

With 439 components and 41 rubies, El Primero 4046 is the first automatic movement to incorporate a column wheel chronograph, a Grande Date, a world timer, a double barrel and an alarm.
The two barrels have separate functions, one dedicated to the alarm and the other focusing all its energy on the watch. The crown at 8 o’clock allows the alarm to be set and the watch to be rewound manually.
The crown also has a push-button to switch the alarm mechanism on and off.
