The Calibre 3600 is Zenith’s most up-to-date version of the El Primero. The Zenith El Primero was first introduced in 1969 While it does have a chunky steel case similar to the Speedmaster, a ceramic bezel-which on the Zenith allows the user to read the 1/10th of a second chronograph-and three-link bracelet like the Daytona, what makes the Chronomaster Sport a Zenith is the three independently coloured sub-dials, the tactile, stopwatch-style pushers-Zenith’s odd date placement even makes an appearance between 4 and 5-and of course, the El Primero movement. While that is a good design choice on Zenith’s front-going with what they know works-that isn’t to say this watch isn’t its own. It’s a TAG Heuer Carrera, an Omega Speedmaster it’s even a bit IWC Portuguese. While I agree that it does look a bit-okay, a lot-like the Daytona from afar, do you know what this Zenith really is? It’s a chronograph reminiscent of today’s market. “Well, that’s just because they copied the look of the Daytona” I hear you say. The new Chronomaster Sport, however-with its chunky 41mm steel case and three link bracelet-is definitely a sports watch. The Chronomaster has always retained a somewhat dressy feel. The Zenith Chronomaster first launched at Baselworld in 1994 First introduced at Basel in 1994, it’s fair to say that there have been quite a few updates and variations of the watch since its release, the latest of which is why we are here today: introducing the Zenith Chronomaster Sport-a Zenith El Primero for today’s market. One of the most recent guises, however, is the Chronomaster. Over the last 52 years, the El Primero has taken many forms-it even made an appearance within the Rolex Daytona between 19. In 1969, Zenith released the El Primero-the first integrated automatic chronograph movement.
