Zenith Chronomaster

The Zenith Chronomaster is a subtle men's watch that impresses with the variety of its displays. With its dials on the dial, it evokes associations with the cockpit of an airplane and elegantly avoids showing off too much precious material. With a mostly brown leather strap and the masculine dial colors of white, gray and blue, it clearly stands out as a men's watch. However, it is quite colorful and lively. The minutes are marked with objective, clear lines, between which the hour lines stand out clearly in metal inlays, usually made of gold. There is no numeral indication. The technically competent wearer of a Zenith Chronomaster does not need such aids to be able to read his watch.

Insights into the technology

Some Zenith Chronomaster models have a solid dial with three additional dials or two dials and a window for viewing the movement. Others do without a dial, with the exception of an outer ring with the time scale, and leave the technical inner workings of the watch completely unobstructed. This offers the tech-loving man a wonderful insight into the processes inside his watch, but can initially distract from the displays on the smaller dials. This is helped by the fact that in most models each dial has its own color, which is different from the main dial or ring. What exactly the additional dials display varies depending on the sub-series of the Zenith Chronomaster, but is worth seeing in all cases.

Master of Time

The name Chronomaster is made up of the name of the Greek god Chronos and the English word Master. Chronos, the creator god of Greek mythology, was considered the personification of time. Master means master, and so the Chronomaster, with its many hands, stopwatch function and the frequent insight into the movement, is the master of time. A truly aptly chosen name for this masterpiece of Swiss watchmaking.

Frequently asked questions about Zenith Chronomaster

How much does a Zenith Chronomaster cost?

The current price range can be found in the price overview on this page.

Why does the chronograph hand run so fast?

The El Primero movement oscillates at 36,000 vibrations per hour, significantly faster than conventional calibers. This means that the second hand runs visibly more smoothly and tenths of a second can be read.

What do the open dials show?

In the open versions, a cutout provides a view of the swinging balance wheel. This is particularly attractive with a high-frequency movement because the movement appears faster and more consistent than with slower-running calibres.

Are the watches at HORANDO new and original?

Yes. Each new watch is unworn and comes with box, papers and the full manufacturer's warranty. Before shipping, we look at each watch again, check the reference and serial number and pack it neatly.
