This time it\u2019s official, Zenith is (at last) back in the watchmaking firmament. The unveiling of the new Chronomaster Sport has put the Swiss brand back in a strong position in the highly competitive market for precision mechanical chronometers.<\/h4>\n

2021 got off to a flying start for watchmaking, thanks in particular to Zenith, which took everyone by surprise with the Chronomaster Sport. A renewed dynamism to be applauded from this venerable watchmaking House, a subsidiary of LVMH, which has been back in the spotlight since 2019 with the celebration of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of its legendary El Primero chronograph movement, accurate to 1\/10th of a second. In short, the holy grail for fine watchmaking enthusiasts, its heart beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. And it\u2019s this same movement that drives the Chronomaster Sport, an elegant 41\u00a0mm steel chronometer that is water-resistant to 100\u00a0metres and has a 60-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n

The layout of the three chronograph dials is highly classic (running seconds at 9\u00a0o'clock, 60-second counter at 3\u00a0o'clock, 60-minute counter at 6\u00a0o'clock and date window at 4.30), while the black ceramic bezel offers an unusual, perfectly legible display to 1\/10th of a second.<\/p>\n
