On December 25th, 1969, Seiko unleashed a shot across the bow of the watch industry with the release of the Quartz Astron, the world’s first quartz watch.
The Zenith el Primero, which means the first in Spanish, debuted in 1969, and makes this list for one important, even monumental reason—its movement.
In May 1970, it ran full-page ads announcing the development of the watch and held a press conference at New York’s posh Four Seasons restaurant.
“The Monaco” is another watch made famous with an iconic appearance on the silver screen, in this case gracing Steve McQueen’s wrist in Le Mans, the 1971 film set in the world of high-performance racing.
On April 4, 1972, a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal announced that the wrist computer was on sale.

Sapphire crystals are typically found on newer watches (for Rolex, post-c.1987) and feature greater scratch resistance than plastic/acrylic crystals.
