The dial of the Chronomaster Sport comes in Zenith’s signature tri-colour and tri-compax layout – with silver, anthracite and blue counters. But after half a century, it was time for a major performance jump with an evolution of the movement that takes full advantage of its 5Hz frequency, in order to measure and display the 10 th of a second. But the movement has also been updated in the frame of continuous optimization, in particular, by incorporating modern technologies to evolve in synchrony with the times. The re-industrialisation of the movement in 1987 (under the reference Calibre 400) was the occasion to introduce several improvements. In more than 50 years of history, the El Primero has evolved in many directions. Beyond its historical importance, El Primero’s longevity speaks for itself. Part of the trilogy of automatic chronograph movements that hit the market in 1969, it is the only one that is still produced to date. Presented in 1969, the Zenith El Primero has become an undisputed horological icon. Meet the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport, and don’t miss our video review above to see how it looks on the wrist.
