#ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT 2021 PRICE FULL#
Zenith has also released a two-tone option that is more subtle in its decadence if full gold is not your thing. I partly wonder if the tri-color is the reason that the black and white dials don’t quite sit perfectly in my eye. I also think a blue sunburst dial (much to the chagrin of my colleague, Gerard) could look rather nice too, but that would suffer from the same issue. Sadly, it would clash a little with the sub-dials, and you’d lose the wonderful tri-color effect. I’d love to see an anthracite-gray dial option, as I think that’d be the perfect “in-between” complementary tone. I’m pleased to say that Zenith has color-matched the date wheel at four-thirty, so irrespective of which dial color you chose, it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Gun to my head, I’m going to play it safe with the black dial. While both models are certainly rather handsome, I don’t feel that either is quite “perfect”. That’s not because I love them both equally. Of the two options, I’m kind of stuck between the two as to which I prefer. Which gold Chronomaster Sport do I prefer? The polished surfaces form the accents, and the brushed finishes do the heavy lifting. A mixture of satin-brushed and polished surfaces ensures that the gold isn’t too “in your face”.

Golden hands and hours markers complete the decadence. There is a choice of two dial colors (black or white) with the signature tri-colored sub-dials that make the El Primero chronographs so instantly recognizable. This is opulent sportiness for the wrist. This includes the case, bracelet, bezel, pushers, and crown. For 2022, Zenith has chosen to craft the Chronomaster Sport from solid rose gold. There’s a precedent that even predates the El Primero.

Solid gold chronographs are nothing new to Zenith. The Chronomaster Sport - Now with extra gold! I think that these new models will not struggle to find approval. By comparison, the aesthetic is a lot softer and, in my opinion, it fits better with the original A386 blueprint. The new models eschew the ceramic bezel in favor of gold bezels. I wasn’t sold one way or another, but I could understand some folks’ internal conflicts. But when Zenith slapped the ceramic bezel onto it, it was a controversial move. The A386 is a timeless model that transcends the vintage/modern classifications. Personally, I felt that the ceramic bezels were the one thing that made the Chronomaster Sport feel so modern compared to the A386. Now Zenith has decided to introduce three new models in two-tone and gold with no ceramic bezels in sight. Then, we had a gold version with a ceramic bezel. First, we had a steel watch with a ceramic bezel. Zenith itself seems to believe in the collection, too, as evidenced by the new releases we see before us. A few of my friends and acquaintances have picked up the stainless steel version, and the feedback has been very positive. Despite its slightly divisive birth last year, the wider community now seems to have firmly accepted Zenith’s Chronomaster Sport with open arms.
