The most substantial update to the Chronomaster Original, which sets it apart from Zenith’s other recent riffs on the A386 - including the one-of-a-kind platinum-cased edition produced for a 2019 Phillips auction - is the use of a 1/10th-second scale in place of the original’s tachymeter scale on the flange, surrounding a black inner ring subdivided into 100 measurable time units. The Zenith Chronomaster Original is a modern re-interpretation of Ref. A386, one of the first steel wristwatches to be equipped with the groundbreaking El Primero chronograph caliber.
This year sees the launch of the Chronomaster Original, described as a “21st century rendition” of one of the Swiss maker’s historical touchstones, 1969’s Ref.
Zenith continues to march toward the future by deftly deploying iconic elements from its past, as evidenced by vintage-inspired timepieces like the Chronomaster Revival and Pilot Type 20.
