I actually look forward to dinner parties, where I’m sat next to someone else that has on one of the more entrenched market leading chronographs and that this person would ask about my watch. It is meant to be that do anything, go anywhere chronograph that serves you unfailingly, is incredibly comfortable and reliable but at any moment you can unleash its super power. The Chronomaster Sport also comes in both a white and black dial. This is the equivalent of that day at the beach when the girl next door kicks off her Havianas, un-scrunchies her hair, slips off her cut offs and tosses her Wu Tang t-shirt on the sand and you realize you’ve been living next to a super model the whole time. But then you push the chronograph start button and that’s when the “Oh Shit!” movement happens.īecause all of sudden the chronograph seconds hand leaps into action and starts to rotate around the dial at a dizzying pace. The large visible bevels bring the stirrings of excitement, the ceramic bezel is definitely welcome and the vintage pump style chrono pusher add a bit of retro modern appeal.
The case is really well executed in that it feels great when you wear it and is certainly ergonomic. You’ll strap it to your wrist and you’ll like all the small details that are perfectly well sorted by Zenith’s head of product, Romain Marietta. In the same way you think the girl next door with the freckles is nice.
When you pick up the Zenith Chronomaster Sport you’ll think it’s nice. The new Chronomaster Sport showcases this in an incredibly dynamic way.” The Zenith El Primero has been the only chronograph movement for over half a century is capable of diving time to 1/10th of a second. Says Tornare, “This display creates what I like to think of as a super chronograph that perfectly highlights our status as the master of precision time keeping. But most distinct is the incredible 1/10th of a second display that comes from Zenith’s Striking 1/10th a model that was introduced a decade ago but was dropped from the Zenith line up, before current CEO Julien Tornare joined the company. You have the polished and satin finish bracelet from the Zenith De Luca. You’ve got the black bezel from both the A277 Pre-El Primero Chronograph and the legendary El Primero Rainbow, though, this unit is now rendered in decidedly modern ceramic and engraved with a very unique 10 second scale, with exactly 100 distinct hash marks, more on this later. First you have the dial layout, in particular the three multi-counter subdials arrayed inverted pyramid style, comes from the A386, launched back in the Summer of Love, in 1969 and that introduced the world to the integrated automatic chronograph. When you look at the new 41mm steel Zenith Chronomaster Sport you realize you’re looking at a greatest hits list of iconic Zenith design codes.
