What is the new ZENITH Chronomaster Solo Sport?

The Chronomaster Solo Sport is a new three-hand watch powered by a version of ZENITH’s renowned El Primero movement. The four references are housed in a stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet.

“Crafted as a three-hand watch for everyday versatility, the Chronomaster Solo Sport brings together two defining pillars of ZENITH’s watchmaking expertise: high-frequency precision and distinctive design. Preserving the legendary El Primero high-frequency identity, the watch emphasizes cadence, precision, and the unique sensation of time on the wrist, while translating these technical qualities into a timepiece suited to modern daily wear.”

This reference does not indicate the date.

The faceted hands and applied hour-markers are coated with Super-LumiNova SLN C1.

What are the case and bracelet features?

Notice the dial pattern, an “exclusive high-frequency pattern built around a repeated 45° Z motif.” The date wheel on the three references are colour matched with the dial, an aesthetically pleasing and thoughtful design touch.

The case of each reference is made from stainless steel, measuring 40 mm (diameter). Dial side and caseback feature a sapphire crystal. Water resistant up to 20 ATM or approximately 200 metres.

The watch is fitted with a three-link stainless steel integrated bracelet. It features the brand’s ZENCLASP™ folding clasp featuring an integrated micro-adjustment system.

Is the movement a descendant of the brand’s historic El Primero?

Yes. Each reference is powered by El Primero 3620, a high-frequency automatic movement that drives the hours, minutes, seconds with a stop-second function and date (and the same movement is used in the non-date reference). It comprises 219 parts and 27 jewels, beats at 5 Hz or 36,000 vph and delivers a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. The movement features a silicon escapement and a bi-directional star-shaped open worked automatic winding rotor.

What do we think?

The Chronomaster Solo Sport is an excellent versatile everyday watch. Deceptively simple, a closer look at its dial reveals the phenomenal movement that powers it. Its El Primero pedigree and accessible price point will make each reference a bestseller for the brand.
