Pre-Owned Zenith Chronomaster Sport 40990531/AS06045

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

There is perhaps no more versatile complication than the chronograph.

From race cars to rocket ships, boats to battlefields, you are likely to find a chronograph being employed to measure a plethora of tasks and times. From the Greek khrónos (“time”) and gráphō (“to write”), a chronograph is a watch that has the ability to record time, generally via the addition of small sub-counters that register minutes and hours.

If this chronograph looks familiar to you, it might be because it resembles a certain famed watch from another brand... However, this is no Rolex — it’s the (relatively) new Chronomaster Sport from Zenith. Powered by the brand’s famed El Primero automatic movement, it features a wildly cool 1/10th-second hand that spins around the corresponding timing bezel. When matched to its included steel Oyster-style bracelet, it does indeed provide a great alternative to the Daytona, which, these days, is all but impossible to purchase at retail.

This particular Chronomaster Sport features a 41mm stainless steel case, black ceramic 1/10th-second bezel, white glossy dial with tri-color chronograph layout, applied markers, 4:30 date, and Super-LumiNova-filled baton hands. Powered by the El Primero cal. 3600 movement, it’s in outstanding, lightly worn condition, and ready for adventure. Also included is the watch’s outer shipping box, white paper sleeve, inner and outer boxes, books, signed leather cardholder, flash drive and polishing cloth.

Don’t spring for the same old chronograph everybody else has — check this beautiful watch out instead!
