Introducing the Zenith Chronomaster Original Boutique Edition
The boutique will offer those visiting the Manufacture, or simply pilgrims who are there to buy a special watch for a special occasion, the opportunity to choose from the brand’s complete current collection. Best of all, the watches here will have been quite literally delivered fresh from the oven along with the bragging right of being able to say that you bought the watch on the same grounds it was assembled.

The movement within the watch is, of course, the 5Hz El Primero 3600 self-winding calibre, which enables the brand’s famed 1/10th of a second chronograph function. That means to say that, as opposed to traditional chronographs where the seconds hand goes once around the dial for every minute elapsed, the El Primero 3600’s chronograph seconds hand whizzes around the dial every 10 seconds.
