Adding a Zenith
I’ve been lusting for a new Zenith Chronomaster Original on bracelet. This modern interpretation of Zenith’s famed A386 with its tri-color registers and proprietary automatic movement needs to join my collection. The proportions are the kicker, though. A 38mm case with a height of under 13mm is a must. Much of the height comes from a domed sapphire crystal so I can see it just melting away on wrist. An automatic chrono this thin is outstanding.
What does the community think of this specific piece? Are you guys fans of Zenith?
I’m thinking I’ll pick one up sometime in January.

zenith is great, love their designs, look different from everything (not all models), their movement technology is incredible, great heritage, I would buy from them if I have the budget
by the way the model you want to purchase is my personal favourite from them
Oh this would be a great addition! I hope you do grab one in January!
That’s a great piece. The movement is outstanding, it looks great, and it has perfect wearability. Is it for me? No. It’s my third favorite chronograph and I currently own zero. Is it for you? Most likely if you aren’t an asshat like me, it is!
Oh this watch is on top of my lust-list! Love the tri-color and that red second hand! Yes please... get it!
This is a great piece, would love to try owning one someday. Good luck in your hunt OP!
Just to echo sentiments here: this is an outstanding piece and something of a grail for me, albeit in the reverse panda (03.3200.3600/21.M3200). The combination of the El Primero movement - it's brilliance, history and back story - and incredible design in a compact package makes this, for me, king of the chronographs. If I had a choice between this and a Daytona, I'd still go for Zenith. That's also a more plausible scenario given you can walk into an AD and walk out with a Zenith and bypass the waitlist nightmare.
Love this one, would get it if I wanted a Chronograph and I had the budget. I think i prefer the black one
Totally, a huge fan of this piece. Zenith are an amazing brand. This would be on my list if I were in the market.
myself a big fan. A little bit too pricey for my budget and would prefer a no date version...but that is just me
It's gorgeous 😍
Pics when you get it!
I’m an Omega fanatic so my 3861 will always be the chrono I look to first, but my infatuation with this Zenith is real. Speedy Pro and Zenith Chronomaster Original for 2023! The campaign starts now. #omega #zenith
