W&W2022: Zenith Chronomaster Sport in Rosegold And New Chronomaster Open
At Watches and Wonders 2022, Zenith is presenting the successful Chronomaster Sport in a rose gold case, plus a Boutique Edition in steel. In parallel, there are three new versions of the Chronomaster Open, which showcase the mechanism inside through an opening on the dial.
Zenith Chronomaster Sport in Gold
Zenith is launching two versions of the Chronomaster Sport in a rose gold case. There is also a two-tone version in stainless steel and rose gold. In each case, however, the diameter remains at 41 mm. Two models are made of 18-carat rose gold and the bezel is also made of the same precious metal. The watchmakers engrave the scale for reading the 1/10-second chronograph on the bezel. The Chronomaster Sport in rose gold is available with either a black lacquered or a matt white dial.
There is also a model that combines a steel case with a rose gold bezel. The strap also picks up on this colour scheme with central links in rose gold. The pushers and the crown on the side of the case are also made of the same precious metal. The two-tone version has a silver-coloured dial with a sunburst finish.
The El Primero 3600 calibre powers all the watches and, in addition to the 1/10 chronograph, offers automatic winding and a power reserve of 60 hours. The movement can be viewed at work through the case back. The price is 16,700 euros for the S&G model and 37,400 euros for the gold case.
Zenith Chronomaster Sport Boutique Edition
This special variant has a steel case that is paired with a three-coloured bezel. The grey, anthracite and blue thus pick up on the colours of the model-typical coloured counters on the dial. The three ceramic elements flow seamlessly into each other, making it easier to distinguish between clearly separated segments. The dial appears silver and is decorated with a sunburst finish – another exclusive feature of the Boutique Edition.
The Chronomaster Sport Boutique Edition is available exclusively from the company’s own stores. However, it is not limited. The price is 11,700 euros.
Zenith Chronomaster Open
In addition, there are three new variants of the Chronomaster Open. The watch has an opening on the dial and reveals its regulating organ. Two models with stainless steel cases featuring a white or black dial will be released. Then there is a model in 18-carat rose gold with a matt silver dial.
All have a smooth bezel and a crown and pushers made of case material. The scale to read the 1/10 chronograph is on a ring around the dial. The iconic coloured counters are also found here, with the Small Seconds on a transparent disc. The purple escape wheel and balance wheel of the El Primero 3604 calibre can also be admired. The movement offers automatic winding and a power autonomy of 60 hours.
The stainless steel Chronomaster Open appears on a bracelet made of the same material. The rose gold case is instead worn on a blue calfskin strap with a gold triple-folding clasp. The price is 9,700 euros for the steel case and 19,600 euros for the gold watch.
