Please note: An automatic winding watch which has completely wound-down or is at the end of its power reserve requires manual winding. The natural motion of the wearers wrist will cause the rotor to spin, which in turn will automatically wind the mainspring. An automatic watch has a weighted rotor mounted on a pivot to the back of the movement, and the rotor is connect to the mainspring through a series of gears. The energy produced from the wound spring drives the movement functions. The dial is filled with complications and offers a filling experience when one tends to look at it.An automatic/self-winding movement is powered by a thin spiral torsion spring, called the mainspring, which is housed in an enclosed barrel inside the movement. The Zenith Chronomaster collection takes its cues from the modern timekeepers currently available in the market. On the other hand, the Chronomaster Revival series pays homage to the original timepieces created under the ‘El Primero’ era. Whereas, the openwork dial offers an insight into the ‘El Primero’ in the El Primero Open series. The addition of tachymeter in the Chronomaster Sport series provides the collection with a sportier look. The Chronographs are fitted at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock markers and are controlled by two push buttons which are placed over and below the crown. The Zenith Chronomaster collection is fitted with features such as Date, Open Heart, Small Seconds, Tachymeter, and 1/10th seconds Chronograph. The series employed under this collection are Sport, Original, Revival, and El Primero Open.
The identity of a timepiece from the Zenith Chronomaster is a set of chronographs stamped on the dial. The famed movement, El Primero was fitted inside this collection and to this day houses inside the Chronomaster’s case. Taking its influences from the 60s and 70s, the Chronomaster collection bifurcates the art of watchmaking with simplicity.
This marked the unprecedented growth of the Chronomaster collection and the El Primero with timepieces such as Chronomaster Open, Chronomaster Sport, and Chronomaster Revival. First launched in 1994, the Chronomaster collection was the first one to display the El Primero movement with a sapphire crystal case back.
The story of the Zenith Chronomaster collection is very well imbibed with the El Primero.
