How many modern Zeniths were certified chronometers?
Since at least as far back as 2012, Zenith has not certified watches through COSC, presumably for the same reason that JLC does not: Their reputation for accuracy negates the need for COSC testing to bolster the brand value, especially now that some very inexpensive watches are so certified.
Yet prior to that, some were certified, including my Captain, which I bought in 2013 but which I believe is a 2010 or 2011 model that had sat in the store for a while. Was this common practice in prior years, during the Nataf era or going back to 1986 when Zenith started producing the El Primero again? I do not see many examples from any period that say "chronometer" on the dial.
