![]() Combining emblematic elements from past Zenith Icons while bringing out its own unique identity, the result is a contemporary and versatile chronograph – with the added flair of rose gold for this new reference.įor this lavish version of Zenith’s modern yet timeless sporty-chic chronograph, the 41mm case is crafted in18k rose gold with pump-style pushers. Elevating high-frequency precision to new heights, it demonstrates the Manufacture’s prowess in mastering time measurements in fractions of a second. The Chronomaster Sport collection is the beginning of a new chapter for Zenith and its ongoing saga of groundbreaking automatic chronographs. ![]() Zenith continues to keep this tradition alive with the latest generation of the El Primero calibre in the Chronomaster Sport in rose gold. Since the earliest days of the El Primero dating back to 1969, Zenith has offered gold models of its automatic chronographs, with iconic references such as the G381 and G581. Zenith has been shaping the future of Swiss watchmaking since 1865, accompanying those who dare to challenge themselves and break barriers. Since the creation of the El Primero in 1969, the world’s first automatic chronograph calibre, Zenith has gone on to master fractions of the second with the Chronomaster Sport and its 1/10 th of a second precision and the DEFY 21 with a precision of 1/100th of a second. With innovation as its guiding star, Zenith features exceptional in-house developed and manufactured movements in all its watches. Zenith is also highlighting visionary and trailblazing women – past and present – by celebrating their accomplishments and creating in 2020 its first-ever collection dedicated entirely to them, Defy Midnight. Since its establishment in 1865, Zenith became the first watch manufacture in the modern sense of the term, and its watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible – from Louis Blériot’s history-making flight across the English Channel to Felix Baumgartner’s record-setting stratospheric free-fall jump. Zenith exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams and make them come true – against all odds. Now, a new reference of the exceptional 1/10 th of a second chronograph is being added to the collection in lustrous rose gold. It will be no surprise this is the priciest of the bunch, retailing for CHF 37,900.At the start of 2021, Zenith launched its new high-frequency automatic chronograph, the all-new Chronomaster Sport, merging quintessential Zenith design codes with a new level of performance and precision. This in-house calibre ticks at a pace of 36,000vph, which allows the central chronograph seconds hand to track elapsed time down to 1/10th of a second. Round the back, we have a gold caseback with sapphire crystal, allowing for a full view of the star-shaped rotor driving the movement. Like the two-tone variant, the hour indices and hands are gold-plated to match the exterior. The 41mm wide case has a gold bezel, crown and pushers and comes on a full gold bracelet with brushed outer links and polished inner links. This takes the rose gold case from last year’s Chronomaster Sport and extends it to pretty much the entire watch. Lastly, we have a pair of Zenith Chronomaster Sport models with the full Midas touch. ![]() The bicolour Zenith Chronomaster Sport retails for CHF 16,900. Inside, we still find the El Primero 3600 automatic, capable of measuring elapsed time down to 1/10th of a second. This takes the Chronomaster Sport in a completely different direction, whilst still retaining its solid build. The Midas touch is applied to the bracelet, the bezel, the crown and the pushers, and the markers on the now silver-toned dial. New for the Zenith Chronomaster Sport is the introduction of just that, a two-tone steel and gold model. The combination of cold steel offset against warm and luxurious gold just works. Two-tone or bicolour, steel and gold watches have been enjoying a revival of sorts in recent years.
