ZENITH unveils the CHRONOMASTER Sport Meteorite, an extraordinary evolution of its Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève-winning chronograph that literally brings space to Earth. Each watch features a dial crafted from authentic meteorite, ensuring no two timepieces are identical.
A Dial Born in the Stars
The meteorite dial showcases the mesmerizing Widmanstätten pattern – a naturally occurring geometric structure formed millions of years ago as molten iron slowly cooled in the vacuum of space. Hand-finished by ZENITH’s master craftsmen, each grey meteorite dial tells its own cosmic story against the backdrop of the brand’s signature tri-color subdials in silver, light grey, and anthracite.
“Every CHRONOMASTER Sport Meteorite carries a piece of the universe’s history,” said [Brand Representative]. “It’s a poetic reminder that precision timekeeping and cosmic beauty can coexist in perfect harmony.”
Precision Meets Performance
Beyond its celestial aesthetics, the CHRONOMASTER Sport Meteorite delivers exceptional chronometric performance through ZENITH’s latest El Primero 3600 movement. Operating at a high frequency of 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour), it achieves remarkable 1/10th of a second precision – a feat that sets it apart in contemporary watchmaking.
Key technical highlights include:
- Ultra-precise timing: 1/10th of a second chronograph precision
- Robust power: 60-hour power reserve with stop-seconds mechanism
- Advanced materials: Silicon escape wheel for enhanced reliability
- Sophisticated display: Blue column wheel and openworked rotor visible through sapphire caseback
Design That Defies Gravity
Housed in a contemporary 41mm stainless steel case, the timepiece features a black ceramic bezel graduated over 10 seconds for optimal chronograph readability. The polished and satin-brushed surfaces create a sporty-chic aesthetic, while 10 ATM water resistance ensures everyday durability.
The watch comes complete with an integrated steel bracelet featuring brushed and polished links, plus an additional black rubber strap for versatile styling options.
The CHRONOMASTER Sport Meteorite, once exclusive to Japan, is now available worldwide through ZENITH boutiques (both in-store and online) and authorized retailers, priced at CHF 16,900 (~RM92,000).
