The Zenith Chronomaster Original honors the heritage of the iconic A386 from 1969, one of the first watches to feature the revolutionary El Primero calibre. This modern iteration preserves the timeless design with its distinctive round, bezel-less 38 mm stainless steel case, pump-style pushers, and faceted lugs, directly inspired by the original blueprints.
The striking blue sunray dial is paired with the signature overlapping tricolour subdials in grey, dark grey, and blue—an emblematic design that has defined Zenith chronographs since 1969. A silver-tone 1/10th second chapter ring enhances legibility with sharp contrast, complemented by applied rhodium-plated, faceted hour markers and hands coated with SuperLuminova.
Powered by the El Primero 3600 automatic movement, this chronograph measures time to 1/10th of a second thanks to its central chronograph hand that completes a full rotation every 10 seconds. It features a 60-minute counter at 6 o’clock, a 60-second counter at 3 o’clock, a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, and a date window at 4:30. The movement offers a 60-hour power reserve and incorporates a stop-second mechanism for precise time setting.
The watch comes with two strap options: a blue calfskin leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and a stainless steel 3-link bracelet, both secured by folding clasps. Water resistant to 5 ATM, it balances vintage charm and modern performance in a compact, elegant package.
