TITANIUM CORE
Dressed in grade 5 titanium, with its face exploring a range of grays, the sporty watch from the Le Locle-based manufacture is lighter than its steel counterparts.
It was at the UTS (Ultimate Tennis Showdown) tournament in Oslo last February, for which Zenith has been official timekeeper and sponsor since 2020, that the new Chronomaster Sport Titanium took its first steps on the court, linked to the wrist of Patrick Moratoglou, the famous coach, creator of this new competition format and friend of the Le Locle brand. Faithful to the overall aesthetic vocabulary of the collection, and equipped with the same movement as its counterparts, this new watch is distinguished by its alluring gray hues and its lightness (30% less than the steel references).
The 41mm-diameter, 13.6mm-thick case, with its piston-type pushers surrounding the crown on the right-hand side, is machined in grade 5 titanium, while the same metal is used for the brushed bezel with its black graduated scale, giving the whole a tone-on-tone appearance. This monochrome consistency is accentuated by the matching dial punctuated by three azure counters, Zenith‘s visual signature: silver-white for the small seconds (at 9 o’clock), silver for the chronograph minutes (at 6 o’clock) and slate-gray for the seconds (at 3 o’clock). The date discreetly appears in an aperture at 4:30. This Chronomaster Sport Titanium, which can be worn with a choice of textured rubber strap or a titanium link bracelet, is powered by the El Primero 3600 caliber, a high-frequency (5hz) automatic movement that delivers a power reserve of 60 hours.
