Powered by the high-frequency El Primero 3620 movement, ZENITH’s latest CHRONOMASTER trades the chronograph for a cleaner, more versatile design with ceramic dials, a 40mm steel case and a 60-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n
ZENITH is taking a different approach to its celebrated El Primero legacy with the introduction of the CHRONOMASTER Solo Sport, the first three-hand model in the CHRONOMASTER collection. Rather than showcasing the chronograph complication that made El Primero famous, the new timepiece puts the spotlight on what has always defined the movement: its high-frequency precision.<\/p>\n
Since its introduction in 1969, the El Primero has been one of watchmaking’s most significant movements, pioneering the automatic integrated high-frequency chronograph. More than five decades later, ZENITH is distilling that heritage into a simpler, everyday watch that retains the technical character of its predecessor without the complexity of a chronograph display.<\/p>\n
A Sporty Design With Everyday Appeal<\/strong> Crown protectors frame the screw-down crown, while 20 ATM water resistance, equivalent to a rated depth of 200 metres, reinforces its practical credentials. The result is a watch designed to move comfortably between work, leisure and more active pursuits.<\/p>\n One of its most distinctive features is the ceramic dial, decorated with a newly developed pattern built around a repeating 45-degree Z motif. Inspired by the rhythm and vibration of the high-frequency movement beneath, the textured design gives the dial a sense of depth and movement.’<\/p>\n The motif extends to the seconds hand counterweight, while a sharply segmented “shark tooth” minute track draws inspiration from historical ZENITH watches. Faceted hands and hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova complete the display, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions.<\/p>\n El Primero Performance Without the Chronograph<\/strong> Operating at 5 Hz, or 36,000 vibrations per hour, the automatic movement preserves the high-frequency architecture that has defined El Primero since 1969. While the chronograph counters are gone, the engineering remains distinctly ZENITH.<\/p>\n The movement incorporates a silicon escapement, a stop-second mechanism for precise time-setting and a bidirectional winding system featuring an openworked, star-shaped rotor. A 60-hour power reserve provides ample autonomy for everyday wear.<\/p>\n By removing the chronograph complication, ZENITH has created a more straightforward expression of El Primero, allowing its precision and mechanical sophistication to take centre stage.<\/p>\n Four Versions, Including a No-Date Option<\/strong> The white version features a sunray-finished ceramic dial with a contrasting black ceramic bezel, while the black edition pairs a polished black ceramic dial with a matching bezel for a more monochromatic appearance.<\/p>\n A brown version introduces warmer tones through its polished brown ceramic dial and matching bezel, offering a distinctive alternative to the more traditional black-and-white configurations.<\/p>\n For enthusiasts who prefer an uninterrupted dial, ZENITH also offers a black no-date version. Without the date window at 3 o’clock, it presents the cleanest expression of the Solo Sport’s three-hand design.<\/p>\n A New Clasp Designed for Comfort<\/strong> Developed over three years and involving approximately 1,800 hours of research and engineering, the 41-component clasp combines a safety-lock mechanism with an integrated tool-free micro-adjustment system.<\/p>\n Wearers can adjust the bracelet in 2.5mm increments, with up to 10mm of additional extension, making it easier to accommodate changes in wrist size throughout the day.<\/p>\n ZENITH has also subjected the clasp to durability testing equivalent to more than a decade of use, including over 600,000 cumulative opening and closing cycles.<\/p>\n Singapore Pricing and Availability<\/strong> In Singapore, the white, black and brown date versions are priced at S$15,600, while the black no-date edition retails for S$14,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Powered by the high-frequency El Primero 3620 movement, ZENITH’s latest CHRONOMASTER trades the chronograph for a cleaner, more versatile design with ceramic dials, a 40mm steel case and a 60-hour power reserve.
