The case is met by a tapered bracelet with polished centre links, outer links with polished edges, and a folding clasp to ensure the look - and feel - of a modern high-performance sports watch. The dial is flanked by familiar pump-style pushers and brushed lugs. The signature 4:30 date window is almost hidden thanks to a matching salmon date wheel that blends in with the colour of the dial.īeyond the new colourway, the watch’s case and dial are enclosed with a raised sapphire crystal, calling to mind the acrylic lenses found on vintage Zenith chronographs.

With the strong salmon base tone, the chronograph reinterprets Zenith’s emblematic tricolour registers in three shades of grey. On the wrist, the dial can move quite seamlessly between bright and sunny and formal and moody. This is anything but simple - the colour has depth and a bit of flash that holds up against the muted silver and grey hues elsewhere. The timepiece is outfitted with a matte salmon opaline dial, providing a dynamic and warm backdrop uncommon for this dial configuration.Ĭhosen by the Hodinkee team, the salmon leans more towards an orange colourway as opposed to red, and the matte opaline finish allows that colour to shine without any unnecessary finishing. The colours are where Hodinkee pushed the boundaries while connecting the timepiece to the world of complex watchmaking. The Zenith Chronomaster Original Limited Edition For Hodinkee uses the perfectly sized 38mm x 12.6mm case of the Chronomaster Original came in.
