This time this is done with the 1/10th of a second chronograph hand that makes a rotation around the dial in 10 seconds, totalling 100 measurable time units. CaptionĪdditional changes made to the dial includes the black inner scale surrounding the dial is now not used to calculate time spent working using a 1/100th of an hour time division. While the dial features an emblematic tri-colour chronograph counters in shades of grey and blue, the bracelet has been changed from the “ladder” design of the 1960s to the series of solid links that are chamfered and decorated like the case of the watch. The major difference between the past and present iteration of the timepiece can be noticed on the dial and the bracelet of the new timepiece. At first glance, each aspect of the watch is similar to the original from its 38mm round bezel-less steel case to the pump-style chronograph pushers to the brushed and polished surfaces of the case. The 2021 Zenith Chronomaster Original no doubt is heavily inspired by the A386. It is not just a tribute to the original but an amalgamation of the evolution of the A386 into the 21st century. The 2021 Chronomaster Original is not just a re-imagination of the original A386 but so much more.
While there have been many times in the past (in almost 50 years since its launch) that Zenith has come up with various iterations and evolution of the A386, what makes this one special is its affinity to the original (like the name suggests). Now the El Primero movement is the world's first chronograph movement and overtime it has garnered a reputation of being extremely precise, hence its growing popularity. Why? Because it was one of the first steel watches the be equipped with the revolutionary El Primero movement.
When Zenith released the iconic A386 back in 1969, the watch world stood up and listened.
