Lifetime Warranty, Genuinely Good or Just a Good Marketing Gimmick? The Zenith 50-Year Case - Monochrome Watches
The number of watch brands introducing very long warranties is as long as the history of modern (post-quartz crisis) watchmaking. Until recently, two years of warranty was the norm. However, more and more watchmakers tend to offer five years and even more for some special editions. And that raises the question: does it actually make any sense from a consumer’s point of view??Earlier this year, Zenith introduced re-edition versions of the 1969 El Primero watch, the A386 revival, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its iconic movement and model. And it added a 50-year warranty! Now that is a very nice gesture, and it really shows Zenith's good intentions.
