Zenith has added a new version to its Chronomaster Sport collection, a game-changing model family in the modern sports chronograph segment.
The model family, which was added to the well-established brand's catalogs in 2021, quickly became one of the strong competitors in the luxury sports chronograph segment. The collection, which offers different dial choices as well as material and strap/bracelet options, was presented to watch lovers again with a new model today.
The new model generally follows the design details of the concept introduced in 2021. Measuring a diameter of 41mm and a height of 13.60mm, the steel case houses a bezel made of steel instead of ceramic. The bezel equipped with a black-filled tachymetric scale on a glossy background adds a slightly retro look to the model. The sporty case, which has a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides on the front and a steel cover with a sapphire crystal display on the back, can also accompany its user in simple water activities with its 100-meter water resistance value.
Another notable innovation in this newest version of the model family welcomes us on the dial section. The Tri-Compax chronograph dial with a sunray background pattern comes in blue, exclusive to the model. Time is read via rhodium-plated, faceted hands and applique indices. The chronograph feature is monitored through triple sub-dials finished in gray, anthracite, and blue tones. While the date window at 4:30 maintains the integrity of the dial with its ton-on-ton color selection, Super-LumiNOVA phosphor-applied components ensure adequate legibility even in low-light environments.
The new model is powered by the Caliber El Primero 3600 movement, just like the previous versions in the collection. The automatic caliber, which is today's representative of the El Primero chronograph movement, which has become more like a trademark for the brand, operates at a frequency of 5Hz (36,000vph) and offers a power reserve time of up to 60 hours when fully wound. Equipped with a column wheel coordinator, the refined movement differs from its coequals in the industry with its chronograph function that can measure with 1/10 second precision.
The new model, added to the standard (not limited) collection, is completed by a three-link steel bracelet and a folding clasp with the Zenith logo, which we are familiar with from past versions.
