Zenith has brought out a limited edition of the Chronomaster Sport chronograph to mark the 100th anniversary of Watches of Switzerland.
The new watch is a limited edition of 100 pieces and will be available exclusively from Watches of Switzerland showrooms.
On the new model, the 1/10th second bezel is in deep blue ceramic for the first time in the Chronomaster Sport collection.
The blue bezel dial and tri-compax counters are in white and subtle shades of grey.
The sapphire display back shows details like the blue column and the five-pointed Zenith star in the winding rotor. Each watch will be engraved: ‘XX OF 100’.
The movement is of course the updated version of Zenith’s El Primero, the world’s first high-frequency, fully integrated chronograph movement, which hums at a heady at 36,000vph, or 5hz. The power reserve is 60 hours.
As standard on a Chronomaster Sport, the 41mm steel case is water-resistant to 100m. In addition to the three-link integrated steel bracelet, this watch comes with an additional new interchangeable blue rubber strap.
“In celebrating our centenary milestone, this exclusive collaboration with Zenith to launch the Chronomaster Sport limited edition represents a fusion of heritage and innovations,” said Craig Bolton, President of the Watches of Switzerland Group UK & Europe.
He added: “It embodies our commitment to excellence and our dedication to offering our clients and fans of the brand an exciting new timepiece that redefines the art of watchmaking. This collaboration highlights our dedication to the brands we represent and to clients who appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind every timepiece we create”
The Zenith X Watches of Switzerland Chronomaster Sport Centenary is available exclusively at Watches of Switzerland showrooms at £10,800/$11,900.
