SHARPEN YOUR SPORTING SPIRIT
Well established in the watchmaking landscape for the past three years, the sports chronograph from Manufacture Locloise continues to expand its family, and now welcomes a timepiece with a beautiful grass-green dial and bezel.
Although the covid pandemic disrupted Zenith‘s 2020 schedule and forced it to postpone its launch by around a year, the Chronomaster Sport immediately found its audience and met with the success on which it has been riding for three years now. Now a full-fledged line in its own right, it welcomes a new recruit, unveiled as part of LVMH Watch Week last January: the Chronomaster Sport Green model, a version clad in the beautiful grass green borrowed from the Chronomaster Sport Aaron Rodgers edition presented by the Le Locle-based manufacture a few months earlier.
This invigorating hue is applied to the ceramic bezel, engraved with a precise 1/10th-second scale, and to the dial encircled by rectangular, faceted, luminescent hour-markers. The same goes for the white date window at 4:30. True to Zenith‘s aesthetic codes, the trio of azure counters features the brand’s traditional colors: silver, metallic and bluish. All indications relating to the measurement of short times – central second hand and small totalizer hands – are marked with a vermilion line.
Machined in steel, the 41mm-diameter, 13.60mm-thick case is water-resistant to 100m and incorporates two piston-type chronograph pushers on the right-hand side. It houses the high-frequency El Primero 3600 caliber (5hz, 36,000 vibrations per hour), a self-winding mechanical movement that provides an energy reserve of around two and a half days. This Chronomaster Sport Green is worn with a steel link bracelet or a strap with two green grooved rubber bands, which merge perfectly with the watch head to provide ideal comfort on the wrist.
