Zenith And Hodinkee Unveil Limited Edition Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar
Zenith and Hodinkee have teamed up once again for their third collaboration, unveiling a limited edition of the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar. This launch follows Zenith’s earlier release of the Chronomaster Triple Calendar, which pays homage to the iconic 1970 El Primero Prototype, the 3019 PHF. Only 25 units of this prototype were originally produced, incorporating a triple calendar module into the A386 movement. A true gem from the Swiss watchmaker’s archives, it highlights the rich legacy behind this latest release.
Combining the charm of a classic timepiece with modern mechanical efficiency, the new Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar is designed to impress both vintage and contemporary watch enthusiasts. The stainless steel case, measuring 38mm in diameter and 14mm in thickness, boasts a brushed finish and is topped with sapphire crystal on both sides. It features a fluted crown alongside two pushers, with water resistance up to 50 meters, ensuring both style and functionality.
One of the standout elements of this edition is the inverted Panda dial. With a black background and unique Gibeon Meteorite registers, each watch takes on an individual character. These registers include a 60-second counter, a 60-minute recorder, and running seconds, along with windows displaying the day, date, month, and moon phases. Rhodium-plated hour markers and hands filled with Super-LumiNova enhance the readability of the dial, while a black 1/10th second rehaut works in sync with the chronograph centre seconds hand, completing six revolutions per minute.
Powering this limited edition is the Caliber El Primero 3610, renowned for its precision and high-revving performance. Operating at 36,000 Vph, the movement offers an impressive 60-hour power reserve, making it as reliable as it is visually captivating. Completing the design is a 3-link steel bracelet equipped with a folding clasp.
This exclusive collaboration between Zenith and Hodinkee is limited to just 200 numbered pieces, with the first 75 available through Hodinkee at USD 13,500. With its blend of vintage appeal and cutting-edge horological innovation, the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar promises to be a collector’s piece for discerning watch enthusiasts.
