Zenith Chronomaster Open Grande Date Watch

June 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment

T his Zenith Chronomaster watch is a real beauty-and definitely worthy of the “Buy Steve a Watch Category.” Rumor has it that this watch can be yours for $11,900 dollars(for the stainless steel model)-don’t go cheap and not buy an elegant automatic watch winder.

This watch has a timeless elegance about it-the El Primero Caliber has been around for years and this watch represents a move to more modern tastes. The watch has 36,000 vibrations per hour and keeps perfect time.

The dial has subtly smoked cut outs that give a transparent effect. Look closer and you catch a glimpse of the pearly plate beneath with the three patented discs of the Grande Date. The opening of the dial allows you to see the new complication of the El Primero 4039 movement-clearly illustrating the magic of time!

Zenith has not yet sent out this watch for my rigorous review and testing but in case Zenith decides to send one out today-send the model with the 18 Carat Rose Gold model. This beauty will set you back $27,600 but will be elegantly displayed in a gorgeous watch winder case when I’m not testing it!
