Owning
a piece of living history is no small thing. With Zenith being one of
the oldest luxury watch houses in operation, there is a special pleasure
in celebrating tradition, innovation, and legacy.
Profoundly
sporty and supremely elegant in its construction and stylings, this
Zenith Chronomaster Sport offers the best of Zenith’s many strengths.
Let’s dig in with Zenith’s latest movement in their famed El Primero line of automatic calibers.
The
El Primero 3600 is a high-frequency chronograph movement that works at
the elevated frequency of 5Hz and allows for highly accurate 1/10th of a
second chronograph measurements, which can be conveniently read via the
scale upon the rugged black ceramic bezel. El Primero 3600 beats at
36,000 vph, has 35 jewels, and offers up 60 hours of power. It can be
enjoyed via the exhibition caseback.
The
subtle matte white dial displays these multifaceted offerings in a
multicolored parade that simultaneously shows both vigor and restraint.
At
3 there is a 60-second counter in blue, there is a 60-minute counter at
6 in dark grey, as well as a small seconds subdial at 9 in light grey.
The central chronograph arm with an appealing star-shaped counterweight,
makes one circuit every 10 seconds.
Be
sure to look for the date window nestled between 4 and 5 as well as
rhodium-plated hands with SuperLuminova SLN C1 luminosity for easy
viewing in low light.
The
robust stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, 13.6 mm in
height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet. Additional case
features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a push / pull
winding crown, and a 100 m / 10 atm water resistance.
From
its highly accurate movement to its excitingly bold construction, we
believe this Zenith Chronomaster Sport El Primero Chronograph will make
an essential addition to your collection.
