Zenith unveils a new Chronomaster Sports Meteorite

The Widmanstätten pattern on its dial is unique in every piece
Zenith’s popular Chronomaster line, which debuted with the brand’s high-frequency El Primero movement in 1969, now receives an addition with a meteorite dial. The new Chronomaster Sports Meteorite
(Ref. 03.3120.3600/76.M3100) carries forward the same legacy.

The highlight of the timepiece is its meteorite dial, which is hand-finished to create a Widmanstätten pattern, a naturally occurring geometric pattern formed due to the slow cooling of molten iron in space. And this is the same reason why each piece has a unique dial. 

Brand’s signature tri-colour counters on the dial

Further enhancing the dial are the brand’s signature tri-colour counters, featuring an anthracite 60-second counter at 3 o’clock, a grey-coloured 60-minute counter at 6 o’clock, and a silver-coloured small seconds at 9 o’clock—all are detailed with a circular azuré finish.

Moreover, the dial also has a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock, rhodium-plated, faceted and Super-Luminova SLN C1-coated hour markers and hands, with the accents of red. The watch is water resistant up to 100 metres. 

Turning the watch over reveals a satin-finished star-shaped oscillating weight and the brand’s iconic El Primero 3600 automatic movement, boasting a 5 Hz frequency and providing a 60-hour power reserve. 

The 41mm stainless steel watch is completed with a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp, and is also offered with an additional black rubber strap. 

Price: 18,39,000 (approx.)
