Identity

A caliber is three separate things and this reference keeps them apart: the construction, the names it is sold under, and the article a brand actually bought. A watch model points at an execution — never at a bare construction — which is why “same caliber” is almost never a complete answer.

No source in this corpus states which grade any Zenith El Primero 3600 was bought at. That unknown is stored as a real row rather than left blank, so it can be counted, filtered and excluded from any comparison that would otherwise assume parity.

evidence: unknown

no source states which grade this article was bought at — this row exists so 'unknown' stays countable instead of becoming an assumption

grain 1 model · 44 reference — the count above mixes levels. A family record is one the source states a movement for family-wide; a reference record is one case reference. They are not the same unit and are never summed silently.

Every brand here is on the strength of a source that names a watch and states this movement. Brands that use this caliber and nobody has sourced yet are absent — this is what has been researched, not what exists.
