Zenith Presents Two New Chronomaster Models for LVMH Watch Week 2024
Unveiling the long-awaited Chronomaster Triper Calendar and a new Chronomaster Sport.
The fifth edition of LVMH Watch Week has officially kicked off in Miami. Last year’s event saw the premiere of three new DEFY models from Zenith. This time around, the Swiss Maison turns its focus on its other icon, the Chronomaster — unveiling the long-awaited Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar, alongside two new iterations of the Chronomaster Sport.
Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar
Since the late ‘60s, Zenith’s triple calendar chronograph has been one of its most recognizable take on the El Primero. Despite its iconic status, the model has not had a modern iteration in recent years. Making a grand return in 2024, the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar faithfully recreates the 1969 A386 reference in a 38mm, bezel-less steel case. Dissimilar to the Chronomaster Sport’s tri-color subdials, this timepiece’s chronograph and moon phase displays all arrive in matching hues and a modernized, panda-style dial design.
Inside the timepiece runs the newest generation of the El Primero 3610 movement. Beating at an astounding rate of 36,000 vph, the watch is geared to an average running time of 60 hours. Available in three color variants: a silvery opaline dial with rose-gold indices and black subdials; slate-gray with silvery white counters and rose gold appliqués, as well as an olive green option that features silver-tone embellishments. The metal bracelet version retails for $13,900 USD, while the calfskin strap option comes at a price point of $13,400 USD.
Chronomaster Sport
In 2021, the Chronomaster Sport won home the GPHG Chronograph Watch Prize for Zenith, which further reinforce its status as one of the Maison’s most prized crown jewels. Two new iterations of this emblematic watch have been revealed, with one sporting a vivid green colorway and the other being an eye-catching gem-set boutique exclusive.
Reminiscent of Zenith and Aaron Rodgers’ collaborative model, the Chronomaster Sport Green is outfitted with a chromatic dial and bezel doused in its namesake hue. Its iconic tri-color subdials are presented in its hallmarked color scheme of blue, dark gray and silver-gray. In keeping with the consistent color palette, the watch is offered in a metal bracelet edition for the price of $11,300 USD, and $10,800 USD for the green integrated rubber strap version.
Elsewhere, Zenith also introduced its first-ever bejeweled Chronomaster Sport timepiece. Crafted from 18-carat rose gold from case to bracelet, the watch’s bezel is fully set with diamonds, spinels, and sapphires, with the colors echoing each of the subdials. On the watch face, the tri-color counters are set against a meteorite-textured base and adorned with baguette-cut diamonds as indexes. This model has a retail price point of $98,600 USD and is also powered by the El Primero 3600 caliber.
The aforementioned time-tellers are now available via Zenith and select authorized distributors. Stay tuned for more LVMH Watch Week updates here.
