Zenith has introduced an elegant new version of its Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar—now encased in 18k rose gold and paired with a striking black dial. First reintroduced during LVMH Watch Week 2024, the watch was previously available only in stainless steel. With this new release, Zenith successfully merges vintage aesthetics with contemporary flair.
The updated model features a harmonious palette of rose gold, black, and crisp white accents. Traditional design elements such as the box-shaped sapphire crystal, tapered lugs, and pump-style pushers are retained, ensuring the timepiece stays true to its roots. Despite its heritage appeal, the watch maintains a fresh, modern feel.
Notably, the dial layout remains clean and intuitive. The El Primero three-register chronograph is enhanced with a complete calendar and a moon phase complication crafted in rose gold. The day and month windows are placed at 11 and 2 o’clock respectively, while the date window rests discreetly at 4:30. These features are arranged to promote visual harmony without crowding the dial.
At 6 o’clock, the moon phase is seamlessly integrated into the 60-minute chronograph sub-dial. This design choice not only maintains symmetry but also improves legibility. To boost low-light visibility, Zenith uses SuperLuminova SLN C1 on the hands and hour markers.
Powerful Movement with Thoughtful Detailing
Driving the timepiece is Zenith’s high-frequency El Primero 3610 calibre. Operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, the movement delivers both accuracy and a generous 60-hour power reserve. Thanks to the sapphire crystal caseback, wearers can admire the intricate mechanics within.
The watch is complemented by a black calfskin leather strap, which underscores its refined, timeless aesthetic. While luxurious, it remains suitable for daily wear. This new rose gold Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar is priced at $26,300 USD. It is available through Zenith boutiques and authorised retailers worldwide.
Vintage Appeal, Modern Execution
Zenith’s latest release reflects its commitment to evolving classic designs with thoughtful innovation. By combining its iconic El Primero movement with a luxurious rose gold case and practical calendar functions, the brand continues to honour its heritage while looking confidently ahead.
