In addition, Zenith adds a gold edition of its very hot Chronomaster Sport, which has become a top seller for the brand since its introduction last year. Price: $10,000 (steel on bracelet) and $21,300 (rose gold on strap). With its new diameter (current collection models are 42mm), cleaner dial and explicit 1/10 th of a second display, the new Chronomaster Open hits all the updates required for a truly contemporary collection. The new design, which replaces the existing Chronomaster Open collection, is a nice mid-way point between Zenith’s Chronomaster Sport and its vintage-tinged Chronomaster Original. Zenith wisely based the new caliber on the recently debuted El Primero 3600 1/10 th of a second automatic high-frequency caliber. The results expose the new El Primero 3604 in its more contemporary grey hue. In addition, Zenith has altered the shape of the dial opening, adding circular openings with chamfered edges instead of the former version’s applied metallic frame with blued screws. The transparency of the crystal allows the viewer to see into purple silicon star-shaped escape wheel. Here, Zenith retains the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock (which was absent in the original Chronomaster Open), remaking it with a clear hesalite crystal. Now presented in a more wrist-friendly 39.5mm steel or rose gold case, the new Chronomaster Open revisits the well-known three-color Zenith Chronomaster layout but with several new elements added. The new watch, which is Zenith’s Watches and Wonders 2022 highlight, is lighter in several ways when compared to its forebears and the previous Chronomaster Open collection. Veteran collectors might remember the Chronomaster Open’s 2003 debut, which featured a larger case and a multi-aperture view into an earlier El Primero movement. Zenith modernizes its Chronomaster Open collection with a new El Primero movement, a hesalite seconds counter and a smaller case diameter.
