This design style accentuates the contours of the Chronomaster Sport while restraining its overall size. Where the Chronomaster Sport differs from its predecessors (and some argue emulates its pricier counterpart, the Rolex Daytona) is in its sportier and more rounded casing. Legibility looks to be excellent and, just as to be expected on an El Primero, there is a tachymetre scale along the outer edge of the dial.The Chronomaster Sport bears several design features that speak to the signature look of the previous generations of Chronomaster: the sleek, angular lugs that connect the casing to the bracelet the round-edged, angled pushers and the iconic, star-adorned crown that speaks to Zenith’s exhortation “to reach your star”. The dial is pure El Primero but when compared against many of it’s siblings, the hands and markers appear to have been enlarged. I really like the look of the slate dial on the rubber strap (below), it gives the Zenith El Primero Sport a bit of a motorsport vibe that works really well with the red seconds hand.

With a maximum measure of 12 hours and a resolution of 1/10th of a second, the 400 B is no slouch, and it finds a natural fit in a watch like the Zenith El Primero Sport.īeyond the choice of dial color, Zenith has also optioned three different mounts for the Zenith El Primero Sport, including a brown alligator strap, a metal bracelet with a triple folding clasp, and a rubber strap.

Being an El Primero, the Zenith El Primero Sport rocks Zenith’s 5Hz El Primero 400 B automatic integrated column wheel movement. Buyers will have the choice of a slate grey (above) or light silver (bottom) dial and both feature a bright red seconds hand and matching “36,000 VPH” text.
