This is a modernized version of the legendary movement, tuned to 5hz and delivering a 60-hour power reserve. Inside its 38mm steel casing, similar to the 1969 A386, is the El Primero 3600 automatic caliber. In the center, the red-lacquered second-hand beats time and powers the duo of totalizers with the seconds at 3 o’clock and minutes at 6 o’clock. The hours and minutes are displayed in the center, indicated by two rhodium-plated baton-type hands raised by a Super-LumiNova® C1 tip, while the running seconds scroll in a counter at 9 o’clock. The combination of shades is soft, combining light, dark, and blue gray, repeated on the circumference of the dial in three sections that facilitate the reading of the 1/10 th of a second. True to its traditions, this watch features on its white lacquered face the three tricolored azure sub-dials symbolizing the personality of Zenith chronographs since 1969.

This technological advance also enables the company to offer exclusive products such as the new Chronomaster Original E-commerce. Zenith was among them when it inaugurated its “e-shop” in 2020, making the sale of a large selection of its timepieces accessible to certain markets and gradually extending its reach to the entire world. The Covid-19 pandemic that has been raging for nearly two years, activated a review of distribution methods for certain watch brands, leading to the creation of online boutiques. This one is inspired by the original 1969 watch featuring a trio of tricolored sub-dials and is exclusively available from the online store.
