The new Chronomaster Sport line makes a good deal more sense at a glance. While handsome in some respects, it fell into uncomfortable territory in the context of the El Primero name. The tricolor color scheme was nixed in favor of a uniform appearance color matched to the dial. The 2015 releases measured 45mm in diameter and a portly 14+mm in thickness and featured oversized hour makers and hands paired with squat, somewhat campy numerals within the sub dials. This distinctive new comer is teamed with an eminently comfortable integrated steel bracelet or a textured cordura-effect rubber strap option, secured by a steel folding clasp.The Chronomaster Sport has always been among the more progressive executions of the El Primero, quick to adapt to new trends (for better or worse), and capable of netting new customers who value modernity in their timepieces. The exceptional legibility ensured by contrast effects continues on the particularly refined black or white dial bearing the signature El Primero tri-colour chronograph counters in blue, anthracite and light grey, each graduated to 60 for intuitive and readings.

The new Chronomaster Sport is the only watch to feature a 1/10thof a second display etched directly on its polished and graduated black ceramic bezel. Endowed with a 60-hour power reserve, the mechanism and its striking architecture can be admired through the sapphire display back revealing a blue column wheel and open rotor marked with the five-pointed Zenith star. It is driven by the new high-frequency El Primero 3600 calibre offering greater performance and precision than ever.

This worthy descendant of the Chronomaster lineage features a sleek, robust and beautifully proportioned steel case measuring 41 mm wide with pump-style pushers.
