The ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT 160th Anniversary Edition
ZENITH marks 160 years with the ZENITH l CHRONOMASTER SPORT 160th ANNIVERSARY EDITION, a chronograph that draws directly from the brand’s proven track record in precision timing. The model combines the technical foundation ZENITH established over decades with contemporary materials and finishing.
Chronograph Heritage
The ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT carries forward the brand’s chronograph lineage. Since developing its early timing instruments, ZENITH has maintained a focus on chronograph refinement and performance. This anniversary edition integrates the El Primero movement with a contemporary case design.
Design and Aesthetics
The CHRONOMASTER SPORT presents a bold case with tri-color sub-dials that organize the chronograph functions across the dial. The stainless steel case pairs with a ceramic bezel, offering scratch resistance and visual contrast. The sub-dial layout—typically found at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock—delivers clear separation of the hour counter, minute counter, and seconds register, essential for reading elapsed time at a glance.
Technical Innovation
The ZENITH l CHRONOMASTER SPORT 160th ANNIVERSARY EDITION houses the brand’s El Primero chronograph movement, rated at 36,000 vibrations per hour (10 Hz). This frequency enables 1/10th-second chronograph accuracy, a specification that distinguished the El Primero at its 1969 debut and remains competitive today. The high-frequency operation reduces the gaps between chronograph hand increments, improving real-time readability during timing operations.
The 160th Anniversary Model
The ZENITH l CHRONOMASTER SPORT 160th ANNIVERSARY EDITION represents the brand’s continued investment in its core chronograph platform. The stainless steel construction provides durability expected in a sports chronograph, while the ceramic bezel resists scratching better than aluminum. For collectors, this edition acknowledges ZENITH’s chronograph foundation without departing from the established CHRONOMASTER SPORT formula. To explore the full range, explore ZENITH collections.
