In 2021, Zenith cleverly launched the Chronomaster Sport, a timepiece that put it up against the venerable Rolex Daytona and Omega Speedmaster.
Not to be confused with the highly attractive, though less sporty, Chronomaster Original, the Chronomaster Sport falls under the price of the Daytona and is higher than the Speedmaster, perfectly slotting in between what are arguably the two best Swiss sports chronographs on the market.
Zenith knows a thing or two about chronograph movements, with its famous El Primero fitted in anything they create that needs a stopwatch caliber, so the real challenge was not horological; it was getting the case, dial, and bracelet design correct.
In 2021, Zenith introduced the first Chronomaster Sport, which comes in a 316L stainless steel case that measures an appealing 41 mm x 13.6 mm with a 46.8 mm lug-to-lug and a standard 20 mm lug width. Delivered with a 3-link Oyster-style bracelet, a screw-down crown, 100 meters of water-resistance, and a fixed ceramic bezel, Zenith nailed the design.
As the popularity of the Chronomaster Sport increased, naturally, the Le Locle watchmaker followed up with numerous iterations, including a green Aaron Rodgers Limited Edition and a titanium model.
Fast forward to summer 2025, and on the heels of Omega’s Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite, which was launched at the start of 2025, Zenith dropped its own meteorite chronograph, the Chronomaster Sport “Meteorite.”
Earlier this month, at The 1916 Company’s Annual Watch Fair, which concludes its four-city tour in Ardmore, PA, next month, Professional Watches got to check this limited availability timepiece in person for the first time.
Final Thoughts
What we can say is that while the photos of the Chronomaster Sport “Meteorite” (Ref. 03.3120.3600/76.M3100) are accurate, it looks even more stunning in person. The juxtaposition of the gray sliced meteorite dial — each being one-of-a-kind — and the triple gray to silver-hued subdials (silver, light grey, and anthracite), surrounded by a glossy black ceramic bezel, and the hits of red on the chronograph seconds, minutes, and hours hands, is perfection. It wears amazingly too, because as I said above, they nailed the case design, bracelet, and dimensions. The 5Hz high-frequency automatic El Primero caliber 3600, with its 60-hour power reserve and 1/10th of a second chronograph accuracy, visible through a sapphire caseback, adds the cherry on top.
The retail price is $17,500. Learn more at Zenith.
