- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024No, Zenith isn't better than Omega. These two luxury watch brands are both universally heralded. Over the last few years, Zenith has seen a resurgence in popularity, and its Zenith El Primero movement is of fine enough quality to now be used in some Rolex chronograph watches. It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. The house’s origins date much further back to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, the materials, its accuracy, the craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. Find a collection of watches for sale on 1stDibs.
