Wearing the Chronomaster Sport Titanium, which weighs 30% less than its steel counterpart, immediately makes a noticeable difference.Why titanium?Titanium offers many advantages over the traditional alloys used in watchmaking. It is significantly lighter than steel, a property appreciated in sports for maintaining unimpeded movement and balance. It has one of the highest strength-to-density ratios of any metallic element, making it extremely robust. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, which is appreciated when you sweat a lot. It is also paramagnetic, which further protects precision from external magnetic fields. With such a combination of properties, it’s no wonder that titanium is used in some of the most demanding and cutting-edge fields.An El Primero Caliber 3600Finally, we discover the latest version of the El Primero caliber through the sapphire crystal case-back. Zenith has built on the foundations of the El Primero caliber and five decades of studies and improvements to the El Primero and high-frequency chronographs to offer us here, for the first time, a display accurate to 1/10th of a second from the 5 Hz escapement (36,600 a/h) in direct reading on its bezel. This El Primero caliber, christened the 3600, has a generous power reserve of 60 hours – no mean feat with such a fast heart! Through the sapphire crystal case-back, you can admire the architecture of this marvel, as well as the blue column wheel and the openworked rotor marked with the five-pointed star.
