ZENITH EXPANDS THE CHRONOMASTER SPORT WITH A TWO-TONE STATEMENT

The CHRONOMASTER Sport stands at the intersection of legacy and forward momentum. Born from the El Primero, the world’s first automatic, integrated high-frequency chronograph calibre, it carries more than five decades of precision within its architecture. This new steel and rose gold edition introduces a different expression of that same intensity. Not a departure from its sporting roots, but a shift in tone where performance is conveyed with restraint rather than force. It is a chronograph designed to move seamlessly across contexts, retaining its mechanical authority while adapting effortlessly to its surroundings.

This evolution takes shape first through its construction. The 41mm case preserves the sharp architecture and balanced proportions that define the CHRONOMASTER Sport, now executed in a two-tone construction that plays with contrast. The stainless steel build anchors the watch in technical robustness, while the rose gold bezel, crown and pushers introduce warmth and depth. The result is neither purely sporty nor overtly formal, but deliberately versatile, a watch equally at ease in motion as it is in more composed settings.

Beneath the sapphire crystal, the mother-of-pearl dial reveals a controlled luminosity, never ornamental, always deliberate. Light moves across its surface, subtly transforming the watch throughout the day. The signature 3-6-9 overlapping counters remain intact, a direct lineage to the original El Primero, while faceted hands and applied indexes ensure clarity and precision in all conditions.

At its core beats the El Primero 3600, operating at 5 Hz — 36,000 vibrations per hour. Its central chronograph hand completes one full rotation in 10 seconds, translating mechanical frequency into visible motion. The measurement of 1/10th of a second is not an added complication, but the natural consequence of its architecture.

Visible through the sapphire case back, the movement reveals its column wheel and horizontal clutch construction, alongside an openworked rotor engraved with the ZENITH star. Bi-directional winding delivers 60 hours of autonomy, sustaining the rhythm that defines the watch.

The integrated steel and rose gold bracelet extends this dialogue of contrast. Alternating brushed and polished surfaces emphasize its structure, while the rose gold center link echoes the bezel’s presence. Secured by a safety double folding clasp, it reinforces the watch’s adaptability and daily practicality.

Released in a limited edition of 50 pieces, this CHRONOMASTER Sport offers a refined perspective on high-frequency chronograph performance: Precise, composed and inherently versatile.
