Additionally, this movement vibrates at a rate of 36,000 VPH. This timepiece features a silicon escapement and has improved the power reserve from 55 hours to 60. Being that chronographs are primarily used in the world of racing, a tenth of a second is a very important measure of time, so it makes sense that this timepiece would be specially designed for that kind of measurement.

This watch is a 1/10th chronograph, which means that the movement completes one full rotation every 10 seconds. This timepiece uses an El Primero Calibre 3600 movement, which is an improved version of the original movement that Zenith has been using in some form or fashion since 1969. Since the 2019 release of the last Zenith Chronomaster, it is clear that Zenith seems to have listened to the feedback they received about the last model and attempted to incorporate it with regards to how they could improve the next iteration of this product line. What is Important to Know About the 2021 Zenith Chronomaster Sport El Primero 3600 From a Technical Standpoint? Therefore, it is worth looking more closely at this timepiece from both a technical and aesthetic standpoint, as well as examining why its release has generated some controversy. The release of the 2021 Zenith Chronomaster Sport El Primero 3600 has many Zenith fans excited but has also managed to generate a little bit of controversy at the same time.

Midsize & Ladies Size Rolex Watch Bands.If any brand is able to offer something similar to Rolex and get away with it, it's Zenith. Yes, they share visual similarities as do many many watches. But to my eyes, this offers something very different to the Daytona. Considering the DeLuca was created back in the 80s as a watch to take on the Daytona I think it's very fair to assume Zenith see the Chronomaster Sport as round two in this battle. Now sure, I’m under no illusion that Zenith didn’t know what they were doing when they released this watch. After only a short time with the Chronomaster Sport, I know going back to a conventional 60-second chronograph is going to be tricky. The novelty of a 1/10th second chronograph simply doesn’t wear off and if you start to think it does, simply turn the watch over and enjoy watching it in action through the display caseback. Again, this shouldn’t come as a surprise as this is Zenith and the El Primero we’re talking about here.

The movement on this watch is nothing short of a marvel. They have popularised the modern luxury steel chronograph as we know it in such a way that results in anything even remotely similar-looking being disregarded as just another lookalike. There are of course many others, but what Rolex are is in demand. Rolex isn’t the only brand to release a white dialled chronograph with a black bezel (shock, I know). Sure how a watch looks is a huge part of its value (after all we look at these things quite a lot during the day) but there is more to it than that. See, a lot of these ‘Daytona’ comments occur because of the watch' appearance. After all, Rolex created this aesthetic and owns it completely, right? Well not quite.

With its white dial, black ceramic bezel, metal bracelet and similar hands and indices, on the surface, this may look like fair assumption to make. A few people (in fact, a lot of people) were talking about how this new Chronomaster Sport from Zenith shares a resemblance to the model it is quite familiar with, the Rolex Daytona. Let’s just address the elephant in the room right away. The Zenith Chronomaster Sport - Image Credit: WatchGecko Online Magazine
