Zenith debuts new chronomaster watches

In the realm of haute horlogerie, Zenith watches have long been synonymous with precision engineering, exquisite craftsmanship, and a rich heritage dating back to 1865. The unveiling of the Chronomaster Triple Calendar and Chronomaster Sport exemplifies the brand’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking excellence.

The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar

The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar pays homage to the iconic El Primero, a groundbreaking movement introduced in 1969. With its meticulously crafted design and seamless incorporation of triple calendar and moon phase functionalities, this timepiece is a testament to Zenith’s legacy of innovation. Available in two distinct dial variations, it seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern sensibilities, making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Setting itself apart from its peers, this debut is intricately crafted to echo the exact specifications and proportions of the legendary A386 model originating in 1969. If your heartbeat hasn’t already surged in sync with the El Primero’s rhythm, prepare for it to do so imminently.

With dimensions measuring 38mm in width, 46mm in length, and 13mm in thickness, inclusive of the raised and curved sapphire crystal, this timepiece boasts a harmonious blend of form and function. The seamless integration of the triple calendar functionality into the iconic design is nothing short of impeccable. Positioned adjacent to the 10 o’clock marker, the day indicator finds its place, while the month indicator cozies up to the 2 o’clock marker, exuding a sense of effortless elegance. True to the essence of the Chronomaster Original (and vintage El Primero) series, the date aperture gracefully occupies the space between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions.

The Chronomaster Sport

Regarding the Chronomaster Sport models, Zenith continues to elevate the sports watch genre with its latest offerings. The resplendent rose gold variant, adorned with baguette-set white diamonds, black spinels, and sapphires, epitomizes luxury and refinement. Meanwhile, the green dial version exudes a contemporary allure with its ceramic bezel and striking aesthetic elements.

The subdials showcase a color palette reminiscent of the original El Primero debut in 1969, positioned respectively around the 9, 6, and 3 o’clock markers. Adding a touch of whimsy (or perhaps polarizing taste, depending on one’s perspective), the bezel is adorned with an array of forty-eight sapphires, echoing this chromatic scheme, transitioning from a deep, lustrous blue to shades of charcoal and pale gray. Despite its moniker, the Chronomaster Sport exudes understated sophistication with its integrated bracelet and modest 41mm diameter, seamlessly blending with its opulent gold-and-sapphire ensemble.

Meanwhile, the other variants offer similar aesthetics with varied strap options. Making a return in 2024, the green Chronomaster Sport embraces the historic subdial hues against its verdant backdrop, creating a fusion of colors, including the addition of striking red accents, for a bold and dynamic aesthetic.

Buy Michael Schumacher's championship watch
April 2006. F1 World Championship. Grand Prix of San Marino. Michael Schumacher, Germany, Ferrari, winner, celebrating on the podium with Fernando Alonso and Juan-Pablo Montoya.

If you want to own a little bit of F1 history, you have the chance to buy one of Michael Schumacher’s watches. The German racing legend jointly holds the record for most F1 world championships won, sitting alongside Lewis Hamilton with seven. Like Lewis, Schumacher also has an impressive watch collection, though that is about to get a bit smaller.

In total, eight of Schumacher’s timepieces are set to go under the hammer in May. All-in-all, around $4.8 million is expected to be raised, though there’s a chance this figure could be significantly higher should two affluent fans get into a bidding war.

What exactly are limited edition watches?
Know the buzz word before you buy
Citizen watch in ground beans

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered why the rare piece of art could ever be worth the obscene amount of money the debonair art thief claims it's worth? It is simple, really. It comes down to the fact that it is rare. A truly original piece of art masterfully created by the very hand who conjured it up in their mind is something that cannot be recreated. The same kind of rare value exists in the watch world, too. There is an entire industry of limited edition watches that claim rarity rivaled only by the masterful artwork of Renaissance artists who can no longer create original pieces.

But what does it really mean to say that a watch is a limited edition? Does it truly mean that there is little chance of you walking into a party or a bar and running into the ever-embarrassing moment when your "rare" watch sits on the wrist of another...in the same room? Or does it mean they just want you to buy it quickly because they have numbers to make before the shareholders' meeting? Both are possible. As usual here at The Manual, we did the legwork to make sure are armed with the information you need before you click the BUY button and invest in a limited edition watch.
