Much like mechanical watches, classic cars are often produced individually and by hand, while their maintenance also requires extreme attention and meticulous care. Through this particularly demanding challenge, Zenith is reaffirming its three founding values – Authenticity, Daring, Pleasure – that are closely attuned to the world of motorsport and legendary races. While competitors can experience the races at their own pace, each of them is an authentic sporting trial in which around 300 competing cars representing the history of motor racing vie with each other at the best European venues such as Spa-Francorchamps, considered by many drivers to be the world’s finest track. Since last year, the Manufacture in Le Locle is proud to be handling the official timekeeping of five of the prestigious races organised by Peter Auto: the Vallelunga-Classic on the Autodromo Piero Taruffi in Italy (March 28-29), the Spa-Classic on the Belgian Spa-Francorchamps track (May 22-24), the Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or on the Dijon-Prenois track (June 5-8), the Monza Historic in Italy (July 10-12), and the Dix Mille Tours du Castellet on the Paul Ricard track, also in France (October 2-4). ZENITH OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER OF THE TOUR AUTO This time, the brand with the guiding star has taken its place aboard classic cars by becoming official partner of the Tour Auto Optic 2000, a top-notch race known for the authenticity and variety of the historical cars that compete in it. Louis Blériot, Léon Morane, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Roald Amundsen, Felix Baumgartner, the Spindrift racing professional sailing team… Each in his own way has embodied the spirit cherished by Zenith and born of the vision instilled by Georges Favre-Jacot, founder of the Manufacture, and which is more vibrantly alive than ever: the enterprising spirit. On land, at sea and in the air – even as high as the stratosphere – Zenith has consistently accompanied adventurers of the mind, bold doers of great deeds, discoverers of the impossible: the kind of people who consistently push human limits. The brand with the guiding star is opting to associate with high performance on race circuits and, like the historical cars whose times it will be measuring, once again proves that speed and precision can make a perfect match with elegance. Today it is taking on the role of official timekeeper for the Tour Auto Optic 2000, a red-letter event in the classic car-racing calendar. ![]() EL PRIMERO CHRONOMASTER 1969 TOUR AUTO EDITIONĪ loyal companion in all kinds of challenges since its creation, Zenith has always gone where its passion for human adventure has driven it. ![]()
