Chronomaster Sport
While Julien Tornare, CEO of Zenith, was introducing new models of Chronomaster Sport at Watches and Wonders 2021, he said; “I wanted it to be, as we say in France, “sport chic”, meaning a casual watch you can wear with a suit.” I think, with the new Chronomaster Sport models that introduced in Watches and Wonders 2022, the brand definitely created excellent “sport chic” watches. New Chronomaster Sport models are in 18-carat rose gold cases or cases in which rose gold and steel are harmonized. Rose gold case comes with white or black dials; both dials with sunray pattern. Both dials feature three different colored sub-dials (blue, light gray and dark gray) and a small date window. The rose gold case match with rose gold bezel and rose gold steel bracelet. The model, which blends steel and rose gold, is designed with a sunray patterned gray dial. This version’s bracelet is in pink gold and steel together. Each model is in 41 mm diameter and water resistant up to 100 meters.
