And I had the opportunity to spend some time with it on the wrist. The watch that really did it for me last year was the smaller, more retro-styled Zenith Chronomaster Original. Objectively, it is a great watch that most of our team considered a home run. In 2021, the brand showed impressive creativity in the field of El Primero-based watches, mainly with the introduction of the praised Chronomaster Sport. Recurring readers of MONOCHROME certainly know my love for classic-looking, historical chronographs with compact dimensions, and that specific Zenith had long been on my personal wishlist… until the brand discontinued it. I prefer being PM'd here first but can be reached by email at my username + I've sold several watches on here over the years and could point you in the direction of those folks if you'd like references.For a long time, Zenith had a watch named the El Primero 38mm in its collection, a sort of direct descendant to the classic A386 watch, despite not being entirely true to the original design. Bank wire preferred but can accept PayPal with added fees. Willing to meet face to face in the Chicago area.

I never actually wore it out of the house. The seconds hand just races around the dial. The 1/10th of a second chronograph is wild if you're used to seeing a regular timed chrono. To me, it has a very casual retro vibe that works very well business casual or shorts and t-shirt. Although it's not a shine factory like a Royal Oak, it does have several flat surfaces that reflect the light more than you'd expect from this piece at certain angles. Has a huge power reserve of 60 hrs and one of the smoothest winding rotors I've seen in person. I prefer my watches smaller in general, and this is just a classic size. I have a 7' wrist, and this is the perfect size for me. Therefore, I've concluded to keep this one shiny and new and sell it before I've nicked it up.

The issue is that I have other pieces that take up a similar 'space' in my collection that I won't be parting with anytime soon, and I've found yet another piece to set my sights on. The piece is really everything I thought it would be. Wanted this piece for a long time and randomly decided to just take the plunge on this Zenith Chronomaster Original.
