Price List at a Glance: The Most Popular Zenith Chronomaster Watches So if you’re on the hunt for out-of-the-box luxury sports watches, then this line would be right up your alley. Some models also have an opening on their dials for a glimpse of the beating heart of the said movement. The stunning work of skeleton and open heart pieces is produced with innovative features such as the iconic El Primero automatic movement with a power reserve for up to 60 hours. Now, sitting at the pinnacle along with high-end Swiss watches, the Zenith Chronomaster collection exudes modern proportions and out-of-the-ordinary design elements. Unveiled in 1994, the robust yet dressy Zenith Chronomaster collection brought about a fresh look for active watches in the market. The ceramic bezel conjures a sporty image, and yet it does not look chunky like most sports watches. This provided them with a lifetime, which allowed Zenith to make its comeback into the globally-recognised brand which it is today.Sleek and sophisticated, who knew that you could blend elegance and sportiness in one watch? The Swiss company Zenith did. Zenith was able to return the movement to the production line, and as a result won the contract to supply Rolex. Only a few years later, Rolex chose the El Primero movement to power its new, revamped Daytona. While other brands scrapped or sold their tooling, Charles Vermot, a senior engineer who helped develop the movement, decided to dismantle but keep the El Primero's tooling. 
The El Primero, once Zenith's flagship, went out of production. When the Quartz Crisis hit, however, Zenith's run ended. This was particularly notable as prior to this horological arms race an automatic chronograph was considered extremely difficult to design. In 1969, Zenith became one of the three companies that released an automatic chronograph movement. Like many other brands, it began its early history making watches for the rich and famous, including a pocket watch which was gifted by Indian independence leaders Indira Nehru to Mahatma Gandhi. Zenith is a watch brand with a storied and genuinely interesting history.
