Zenith ChronoMaster Open Neo Vintage watch

The Zenith ChronoMaster Open Neo Vintage watch is an appealing luxury timepiece that offers an exceptional mixture of noble qualities. Displaying an elegant, classic design, a distinctive finish, and a prestigious and exclusive manufacture movement, this Zenith ChronoMaster timepiece is an attractive addition to the collection of a Zenith aficionado, or anyone who desires a high quality, technically impressive wristwatch. Zenith presents the ChronoMaster Open Neo Vintage watch in two sizes; the Grande ChronoMaster XXT Open Neo Vintage, which measures 45mm, and the smaller 40mm ChronoMaster T Open Neo Vintage. Aside from the respective case diameters, the technical features and aesthetic details of the two models are the same.

The classical, elegantly detailed ChronoMaster watch case has been given a unique and attractive "patina" finish in three colors--brown, dark anthracite, or blue. To compliment this striking look, Zenith has fitted each variation with a matching color varnished dial that has applied faceted indices and Breguet-style numerals. Dominating the design of the dial is the visually striking cutout on the left side, which reveals the rapidly beating balance wheel and the intricate ballet of the escapement's various components.

To turn the Zenith ChronoMaster Open Neo Vintage watch over is to embark on a journey of horological discovery. First introduced in 1969, this exclusive Zenith manufacture mechanism stunned the watchmaking world with a column wheel controlled chronograph whose balance wheel beat at an unheard-of rapid pace of 36,000 vibrations per hour. Technically unique in this aspect even today, this exceptional balance wheel frequency permits a Zenith chronograph to be able to offer precision chronograph timing to the nearest 1/10 second. The self-winding Zenith El Primero 4021 caliber is made even more technically appealing by the addition of a power reserve complication. Arcing from left to right on the lower half of the dial, this display relays the status of winding tension conserved in the mainspring barrel. Thanks to a window of sapphire crystal in the caseback, the intricate details of the El Primero movement can be admired without hindrance. Each Zenith ChronoMaster Open Neo Vintage timepiece is supplied with a calfskin leather strap whose color matches that of the dial and case. A finely finished triple deployant clasp bearing the Zenith logo joins the timepiece to the wrist handsomely and securely.
