Zenith continues to redefine the luxury sports watch with the release of the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow, a vibrant addition to its celebrated Chronomaster Sport collection. This new timepiece combines the cutting-edge precision of the El Primero 3600 movement with exceptional gem-setting artistry, showcasing Zenith’s dual commitment to horological and aesthetic excellence.
A Vision in Color: Gem-Setting as Art
The Chronomaster Sport Rainbow elevates Zenith’s craftsmanship with a bold, gem-set bezel and indices that radiate vibrant color. The 41mm 18k white gold case is framed by a bezel adorned with 50 baguette-cut gemstones, including 40 sapphires (~3.9 carats) and 10 diamonds (~1 carat). Each stone is meticulously selected for its size, cut, and color to achieve seamless chromatic harmony.
On the black lacquered dial, rainbow sapphire hour markers complement the bezel, creating a cohesive and striking visual effect. The hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova® SLN C1, ensuring clarity and legibility in all lighting conditions.
El Primero 3600: A Precision Powerhouse
At the heart of the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow lies the El Primero 3600 automatic chronograph movement, a direct descendant of Zenith’s pioneering El Primero calibre. Celebrated for its precision and durability, the movement features:
- 1/10th of a Second Chronograph: The central chronograph hand completes one rotation every 10 seconds, offering unparalleled precision in measuring time.
- High Frequency: Operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz), the movement ensures smooth, high-accuracy performance.
- 60-Hour Power Reserve: Supported by a bi-directional automatic winding system.
- Exquisite Detailing: Through the sapphire display case back, collectors can admire the star-shaped oscillating weight and blue column wheel, emblematic of Zenith’s finishing standards.
Design Meets Functionality
The Chronomaster Sport Rainbow balances luxury with practicality:
- Integrated Bracelet: The brushed and polished 18k white gold 3-link bracelet enhances comfort and elegance. A double folding clasp provides secure wearability.
- Water Resistance: Rated to 10 ATM (100 meters), the watch is built for everyday reliability.
- Durable and Elegant Materials: The 18k white gold case ensures robustness without sacrificing sophistication.
