ZENITH has announced the release of the CHRONOMASTER Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli, an update to the brand’s renowned CHRONOMASTER line.
The new model was first introduced following the presentation of the G.F.J. and the 160th anniversary blue ceramic trilogy at Watches and Wonders 2025.
The new iteration features a lapis lazuli dial, characterised by a deep blue colour with shimmering, gold-coloured pyrite inclusions. Each dial is unique due to the natural variations of the stone. The three counters and the 1/10th of a second chapter ring are rendered in a refined silver tone, enhancing legibility against the blue background.
The timepiece displays the hours, day, date, month, and moon phase, with the indicators arranged for intuitive reading. The day and month are positioned at 11 o’clock and 2 o’clock, while the date is at 4:30. The moon phase display is integrated into the chronograph minute counter at 6 o’clock.
The 38mm round case, crafted from stainless steel, draws design inspiration from the 1969 A386 model, with pump-style pushers, tapered lugs, and a raised box-shaped sapphire crystal. The watch is powered by the El Primero 3610 automatic calibre, which operates at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour and includes a stop-seconds mechanism. The chronograph’s central seconds hand completes a full rotation of the dial every 10 seconds, marking 1/10th of a second on the chapter ring. The movement provides a 60-hour power reserve.
A sapphire display case back reveals the blue column wheel and an openworked rotor engraved with the ZENITH five-pointed star. The watch is offered with a blue calfskin leather strap with a stainless steel folding clasp, as well as an additional matching steel bracelet.
The CHRONOMASTER Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli is priced at 22,700 USD. It is available at ZENITH boutiques, authorised retailers, and on the brand’s official website.
