Introduction

Arguably one of the most famous chronograph makers in all of horology, Zenith is best-known for their El Primero automatic chronograph movement. From its status as one of the first automatic chronograph movements ever made (depending on who you ask) and the base movement to feature within the second-generation Rolex Daytona, the El Primero is certainly a modern-day icon. Launched in 1969, its incredible hi-beat rate, amazing accuracy and technical prowess ensured that any watch it was inside was one of the best chronographs money could buy. Offered here we have the Zenith Chronomaster Sport that was debuted in 2021 with a slew of modern design elements that have been combined with heritage-based elements to create a watch that appeals to modern collectors’ requirements for a luxury timepiece while speaking to thoughtful design. As such, the Chronomaster features either a silver or black dial (black on this example) with tri-color subdials as Zenith pioneered decades ago, pump-style chronograph pushers and their legendary El Primero chronograph movement that can measure to 1/10th of a second. In addition to that, this timepiece sports a stainless steel 41mm case, a ceramic bezel and a robust stainless steel bracelet that can safely tackle any wear and tear - as modern collectors have come to expect.

Our Perspective

A legendary piece of the watchmaking industry in ways that not many watches can compete with, the El Primero movement has become an industry icon that requires a special watch to do it justice, and the Chronomaster succeeds in showcasing its legendary status.
