Across the case and bracelet, the Chronomaster Sport is meticulously finished with satin-brushed and polished surfaces to bring out the warm radiance of the precious metal. The bezel, engraved with the signature 1/10th of a second scale, is made of the same material, as is the three-link bracelet.
#ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT ROSE GOLD FULL#
The 2022 Zenith Chronomaster Sport Rose Gold has the same 41mm case we've come to know, but now in full 18k rose gold. But for 2022 Zenith crowns the collection with the addition of two stunning full rose gold variations - including the bracelet and bezel! A rose gold version, again with a glossy black ceramic bezel, on leather strap followed not much later. The option of going with a stainless steel bracelet or a strap made for a total of four variations. An icon in the making!Īt its debut, the Chronomaster Sport was available stainless steel with a ceramic bezel, with either a black or white dial. In fact, it won the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève “Chronograph” prize the same year. Bringing together various elements of Zenith's rich and storied chronograph archive, the Chronomaster Sport won over the hearts of enthousiasts, collectors and journalists alike. When the Zenith Chronomaster Sport was introduced in 2021, it was an instant hit. The secret to the high-speed seconds hand is the native 10 beats-per-second frequency of the movement – such that the lightning seconds hand makes 100 tiny, indiscernible steps over 10 seconds, allowing it to be read against the 100 hashmarks on the ceramic bezel.Introducing the 2022 Zenith Chronomaster Sport Rose Gold It completes one revolution every 10 seconds, allowing for clearer reading of its 1/10th of a second resolution.
#ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT ROSE GOLD UPGRADE#
Visible through the back is the recently-developed El Primero 3600, a movement designed from scratch as the next generation of the venerable high-frequency chronograph calibre.Īn upgrade from the original in most respects, the El Primero 3600 features twin chronograph seconds hands, one conventional and the other a lightning central seconds that travels six times as fast as a conventional seconds hand. Made from shiny black ceramic that’s scratch-resistant, the bezel will look like new even after years of wear That includes concentrically textured sub-dials faceted, applied indices with black inlays and pump-style pushers reminiscent of vintage El Primero chronographs. All that glitters is goldĪside from being clad in rose gold, the new Chronomaster Sport retains almost all aspects that appeal in the steel model.
Priced at US$21,300, the rose gold Chronomaster Sport is substantially more affordable than the competition despite an arguably more advanced calibre, making it a value proposition. The calibre has a 1/10th second resolution for the chronograph, surpassing most chronographs in its price segment.įunnily enough, one of my favourite aspects of the watch is actually the gold flange with the minute track that circles the white dial – the colour pops and works wonderfully against the precious metal case. More crucial is the inscription on the bezel that hints at the movement within. The dial is recognisably Zenith with its signature tri-colour registers, as well as the date at 4:30. Admittedly, it does have a passing resemblance to the Daytona in the same livery, but I would say that the Chronomaster Sport more than holds its own, especially considering its movement. I’ve handled the watch in the metal, and it is eminently striking in gold and black. Flagship sports chronographs – Daytona, Speedmaster, Big Bang et al – are offered in solid gold, so it makes sense that Zenith would take the same approach with the Chronomaster Sport. While not the most novel, the new Chronomaster Sport is a sensible addition to the line. Having debuted the line with versions in steel, Zenith now unveils the rose gold Chronomaster Sport, adding a touch of luxe to the sports chronograph. Introduced just earlier this year, the Chronomaster Sport is the first regular-production model equipped with the El Primero 3600, the latest iteration of Zenith’s storied chronograph movement.
