The new Chronomaster Sport has to be considered as a modern and slightly more trendy take on the classic (and now discontinued) Chronomaster, which was available in 38mm and 42mm cases. The steel edition of the Chronomaster Sport, introduced in early 2021. For sports watches, we have to look at watches such as the Stratos and the De Luca. Still, the name Chronomaster mostly referred to the higher-end models of the brand, often with a rather classic and elegant design. In 2012, the brand will drastically change the design of its collection, introducing the watches we have known for almost 10 years now, with a case that was directly inspired by the 1969 A386 watch and its distinctive lugs. The following two decades will give birth to countless editions of this timepiece, with classic chronograph movement (Calibre 400) or more refined versions with moonphase, complete calendar, opened dial or even a tourbillon. A few years later, the watch will be unveiled with a strong name, Chronomaster.
Following the relaunch of the production of the El Primero movement in the mid-1980s, the brand was looking for a collection that would be powerful enough to match the legendary status of its movement. Launched at the end of the year 1994, it has since become a key element in the brand’s collection. The name Chronomaster is far from new in Zenith’s nomenclature. Today, we’ll take a closer look at this luxurious edition, and also address the elephant in room… that Zaytona/Daytona-Killer topic.
First launched in steel, with a white or black dial, the first evolution has been presented a week ago, with a rose gold case.
This watch, the Chronomaster Sport, is a model with strong arguments to compete in the luxury sports chronograph category, being mechanically fully equipped, very well executed and simply handsome design-wise. Earlier this year, Zenith introduced a new watch intended to become a cornerstone of its collection, the new standard sports chronograph of the brand, and a watch that created a lot of discussions too – with highly positive comments, and equally negative ones too.
