A Masterful Blend of Heritage and Innovation

Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar chronograph featuring a luxurious rose gold case and intricate chronograph details.

In a move that solidifies its position as a leading force in Swiss watchmaking, Zenith has introduced a new addition to its esteemed Chronomaster family: the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar chronograph.

This luxurious timepiece boasts an 18-carat rose gold case and a sleek black dial, setting it apart from its steel counterpart released earlier this year.

The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar chronograph is a masterclass in design, paying homage to the brand’s rich heritage while embracing modern luxury tastes.

Measuring 38mm in diameter, the watch showcases a configuration reminiscent of El Primero’s past, with a raised box sapphire crystal, sloping lugs, and pump pushers that evoke a sense of nostalgia.

One of the most striking features of this timepiece is its high-frequency chronograph movement, which boasts a 5Hz frequency and provides a genuine 1/10th of a second chronograph function.

The chronograph hand in the center completes a turn every 10 seconds, a feat that most watches can only achieve in 60 seconds.

This impressive movement is paired with a complete calendar device, which includes a day-of-the-week display at 11 and 2 o’clock, a month display at 11 and 2 o’clock, and a date window at 4:30.

The watch’s dial is a symphony of design elements, with good balance and ease of reading despite its numerous functions. The rose gold and black color scheme is carried throughout, with hands and chronograph counters displaying a warm metallic tone that complements the case.

A SuperLuminova SLN C1 layer adds an extra layer of functionality, making it easy to read in low light conditions.

Powering the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar chronograph is the automatic El Primero 3610 calibre, which stores energy for 60 hours despite the added complexity of the complete calendar device.

A transparent case back offers a glimpse into the movement’s intricate design, featuring a blue column wheel and a rotor adorned with Zenith’s iconic star.

The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar chronograph is available for purchase at Zenith stores, online, and at authorized retailers, with a price tag of $26,300.

This latest addition to Zenith’s portfolio is a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence in watchmaking, combining technical prowess with refined aesthetics that are sure to appeal to connoisseurs and collectors alike.
