Catalogue Essay
- When Zenith launched the Chronomaster Original in 2021, it sent shockwaves through the watch community, fulfilling the long-awaited desire for a revival of the classic El Primero A386, originally introduced in 1969.
- This particular reference is powered by the renowned high-frequency El Primero calibre 3600. It features a 1/10th of a second chronograph display, offering immense joy as the central chronograph hand sweeps smoothly across the matte black reverse panda dial. The luminous material is intentionally designed in a slight ivory hue, enhancing the vintage appeal of the watch.
- The 38mm case closely resembles that of the classic A386, presenting a unisex design with simple pump pushers and a bezel-less construction. It also features the iconic date aperture at 4:30, with the original outer tachymetric scale replaced by a 1/10th of a second scale.
- Offered in “like-new” condition and complete with its full set of accessories and an additional stainless steel bracelet, this timepiece is undoubtedly a special find for discerning Zenith collectors.

Zenith
Swiss | 1865Since Zenith's beginnings, founder George Favre-Jacot sought to manufacture precision timepieces, realizing quality control was best maintained when production was housed under one roof. Zenith remains one of the few Swiss manufacturers to produce their own in-house movements to this day.
Today, the brand is best known for the "El Primero," the firm's most successful automatic chronograph movement. In an interesting twist of fate, the company that owned Zenith during the 1970s decided to move on to quartz movements and therefore sought to destroy the parts and tools necessary to make mechanical movements. One watchmaker realized this folly and hid the tools and parts before they were destroyed. In 1984, he returned them to Zenith so they could once again make the El Primero movement.
