The dial has a few peculiarities that caught my attention (in a good way) as well. There is also a small amount of lume on the hour and minute hands, but there’s nothing for the chronograph at all, which means it’s unusable in the dark.

There is lume on this one, but it’s only applied to the slanted inward-facing edges of the markers, limiting surface area. They have a black finish to the top, which provides some contrast, but it limits the watch’s legibility at night. The markers of this watch are like trapezoidal prisms standing tall above the rest. Gone are the days of printed everything-on-the-dial watches, at least for Zenith. I also used a white ceramic tile as a base, which is where the reflections are coming from.īack to the watch, a lot of the dial’s features have been applied.

It does a lot of justice, and it interacted well with the white backdrop I used in my photography. I guess we could call it surgical grade white because it’s as pure white as every hospital in a movie set in the future. I think part of that may be to do with the fact that the dial’s white is a stark white.

I love how the dial is laid out, it’s a traditional 3-6-9 layout for the chronograph, but it still feels contemporary. Right from the beginning, it’s easy for me to say that this is an attractive watch. Now that the dust has settled, we can take a proper look at the new Chronomaster Sport. You won’t see any black dial shots here or any rubber straps perhaps in the future, there is a possibility of that, but I think most have already made up their mind on this watch. So, let’s preface the preface to the review with a small disclaimer in that, for reasons beyond my control, I was only able to get a hold of the white dial reference Chronomaster Sport. To be honest, I shouldn’t have prefaced my review with that last part. To preface this Fortnight Review, I’m not saying I’m disappointed by this watch as a whole I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, but some parts make me think in uncharitable ways. Parts of me really love it, other parts of me don’t like it at all, and some are just a little underwhelmed. The reason for my apprehension is this: I don’t know exactly how I feel about the new Zenith. Fortunately, a hectic schedule has done that for me, but it can only go on for so long before it’s time to face the music. Believe it or not, this is an review I’ve been trying to put off writing.
