Together, with the 60-minute, and 60-second white chronograph counters, you’ve got a very precise easy to read chronograph, with no complex calculations needed to get there. While the white ring just inside the flange, with black numbers and hash marks, helps to quickly do the math so you can read off the smaller division of time down to 1/100th of a second, more easily than if you just used one of the graduated scales. The outermost scale, printed in white on the sloped black flange, indicates the 1/10th of a second, with ten hash marks that allow reading down to 1/100th of a second. For this consumer, Zenith has created the Chronomaster Original, which measures 38 mm x 12.6 mm in diameter, and has the look of the historic A386 references, yet features a subtly modernized design, such as a 1/10th of a second chronograph hand that can be easily read with 1/100th of a second precision. Zenith is clearly trying to appeal to a broader audience with Rodgers and the Chronomaster Sport line - although, beyond the mainstream market there’s still an enthusiast-level of collector that wants something more classically styled and sized.
This is good for Zenith and could bolster significantly bolster their sales in the coming years if the demand and resale values hold steady, or rise. The Chronomaster Sport line, launched earlier this year - with a little help from none other than Aaron Rodgers - is reportedly doing well, although not so much that you have to pay over retail for it currently. Zenith has been raging with a variety of new timepieces over the past few years, following what seemed like a neverending flow of Defy iterations.įrom revival timepieces such as the archive-inspired 384 and 386 to the modern Chronomaster Sport and even the Defy Carbon - Zenith is further distinguishing its offerings within the crowded timepiece marketplace.
