Zenith Chronomaster GT Moonphase watch

The Zenith ChronoMaster GT Moonphase watch is a beautifully styled timepiece from one of Switzerland's most respected Manufacturers. This prestigious, intricate watch unites the classic complete calendar complication with a complex flyback chronograph mechanism of uncommon sophistication and technical exclusivity. Produced in stainless steel, or 18K white, rose, or yellow gold, the Zenith ChronoMaster GT watch presents a profile that is classical, yet distinctive in a subtle way--design cues which define the appealing Chronomaster watch case include the elegant multi-level bezel, and gently stepped strap lugs.

The dial of the ChronoMaster GT timepiece is also a demonstration of sublime beauty, featuring a visually rich array of guilloche decorative patterns; these decorative patterns appear not just in the center of the dial, but also in the subdials, and even the blue surface of the moonphase disc. The tips of the minute hand and chronograph center hand curve gently towards the dial surface, in another nod to iconic vintage timepieces. Overall, this Zenith watch impresses immediately with its technical brilliance, yet simultaneously exudes a sense of impeccable order, calmness, and even formality.

The Zenith ChronoMaster GT Moonphase watch is animated by an exceptional self-winding mechanical movement: the El Primero 4001 caliber. The history of this micro-mechanical masterpiece dates back to 1969, when the first "El Primero" chronograph movement was introduced by Zenith. Revolutionary to this day, this movement represents a singular benchmark; with a rapid balance wheel cadence of 36,000 alternations per hour, the El Primero's column wheel governed, integrated chronograph mechanism can time independent intervals of elapsed time with 1/10 second precision. In the case of the Zenith ChronoMaster GT watch, this fine device is further distinguished by its flyback capability, enabling the chronograph hand to be restarted in the middle of a timing sequence, with no requirement to first stop it. Connoisseurs will appreciate the elegant triple calendar display, which indicates the day of the week, the date, and the month, as well as the position of the moon in the sky.

The movement of each ChronoMaster GT Moonphase watch has undergone and passed 15 days and nights of rigorous testing by the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres (C.O.S.C.). An official confirmation of this timepiece's superb performance is found in the subtle inscription of "chronometer" upon the dial. Measuring a 42mm in diameter, the Zenith ChronoMaster GT Moonphase watch strikes a satisfying compromise between traditional watch sizes and the extremely large dimensions currently in vogue. Each watch is finished with a hand-sewn alligator strap and a finely crafted triple deployant clasp signed with the Zenith star logo.
