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.
At
the heart of this dashing Chronomaster we encounter the celebrated
Zenith El Primero 3600 caliber, 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 fixed ceramic bezel. El
Primero 3600 beats at 36,000 vph, possesses 35 jewels, and offers up 60
hours of power. It can be enjoyed via the exhibition caseback.
Attractive
subtly multicolored subdials are prominent against the deep
black-colored dial and offer up a small seconds counter as well as
60-second and 60-minute chronograph counters. We especially enjoy the
stylish red-tipped center arm adorned with the iconic Zenith star.
Nestled
between 4 and 5 o'clock there is a discreet date window, and
luminescent hands and markers make for easy viewing in low light.
The
stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, 13.6 mm in height, and
rests upon a fashionable rubber strap with fabric top layer, the strap
is being fasted by a stainless steel deployant clasp. Additional case
features include a push / pull winding crown, scratch-resistant sapphire
crystal, and 100 m / 10 atm water resistance.
Taken
together, this Chronomaster's expert construction, robust movement, and
attractive stylings make this a must-have Zenith that will surely
enhance any collection.
