Zenith Launches New Chronomaster Pink Sport Limited Edition Watch Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month

At A Glance

Zenith have been working with the Susan G. Komen foundation since 2022 when they unveiled the Chronomaster Original Pink.
Previously dubbed NBCAM, Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicked off in October 1985 as an annual event in conjunction with the American Cancer Society and pharmaceutical wing of Imperial Chemical Industries.
The Susan G. Komen foundation and Zenith worked in tandem again in 2023 when a one off a piéce unique edition of the Chronomaster Original was auctioned off at a Phillips Auction House in New York.
Unveiled as part of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink pays tribute to this important cause while unveiling an exclusive, new, never-seen before dial accent on this particular model.
Measuring 41mm and launched as a limited edition watch with just 500 pieces, the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink is a vibrant steel, contemporary chronograph with majestic pops of light, monochromatic dial and powerful El Primero 3600 movement.
With a timekeeping nod to iconic visuals from the El Primero Rainbow inspired watches dating back to the 90’s, this timepiece is brimming with energetic racing spirit from its polished surfaces to highlighted black engraved bezel markings

1. The Zenith Chronomaster Sport Defines Horological Accuracy

Before we strap ourselves in like a pilot about to embark on our next horological adventure, we thought it was time for a little background on the legendary Zenith Chronomaster Sport.

Since its inception only two years ago in 2021, the Chronomaster Sport has gone from strength to strength as being considered one of the best chronograph watches around. And you know we are all about impeccable timing and accuracy.

Sure we cannot control time. But what the brand has done in terms of mastering precision is the talk of the horological town…especially among enthusiasts. Running the cutting-edge 1/10th-second chronograph display, the brand continually pushes timekeeping boundaries like no other as seen in the most recent rainbow inspired Defy 21 Chroma II.

Wind back the clock for a second and the brand has been certainly defying the odds thanks to their pulsating El Primero movement. An icon like the Queen, this is horological royalty bar none when it was unveiled in 1969. Plus, did we mention they still currently hold the world record for the largest amount of Observatory Prizes for chronometry? 1,565 to be precise.

Stretching back to 1984 when mechanical watches were back in fashion after the Quartz Crisis, their movements were in as much demand as Donald Trump’s lawyers. And this was huuuuge news time peeps as many companies wanted to use Zenith’s El Primero movements for themselves…including, ahem, none other than Rolex.

As a result the Le-Locle giant decided to fly solo and produced their own lines of sporty-chic chronograph watches. Say a timely hello to the Chronomaster Sport which stepped onto the red carpet in 2021. Standards and benchmarks had never been reached before in this manner concerning automatic watches that contained the most recent El Primero movement. Oh yes, you know the one with the impeccable 1/10th of a second function.

Consequently, they received the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève Award in the same under the chronograph category. Adored by horophiles, it blends vintage elegance and elements with a touch of tool like functionality, making it a perfect dress tool novelty. Look, we love the high-beat movement which is what it is famous for.

Nevertheless, there are many other reasons why connoisseurs want to buy a Zenith Chronomaster Sport. Suitable for all manner of special occasions with excellent clarity, there has never been such a more instantly recognizable chronograph dial on the wrist.

Hang on a tick…maybe you have not heard of the Rolex Daytona before?

2. Personality Of The New Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink

Move over Movember. It’s time to cut the horological fluff and cut to the chase as I am sure you are here for the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink. So what does it deliver on and under the horological bonnet?

Source: Brand site

For starters, we must mention the Susan G. Komen Foundation, where 20% of all sales are being donated. And as we have already seen with our fabulous features on the best salmon dials and blue dials that colours are extremely relevant in the horological community. We don’t have time but all we will say is Barbiecore and Ryan Gosling who rocked a three handed Carrera pink dial at the Barbie movie premiere.

Merging a cool bezel with a new pink dial, have we already grabbed your attention? This is wrist worthiness that’s almost off the scale. Considered one of its most highly respected models, this take on the Chronomaster Sport is mightily impressive. Plus, the watches partnership in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month further enhances its horological cred and powerful statement.

The design cues from the Chronmaster Sport are still there for all to admire. These feature the iconic El Primero 1/10th of a second chronograph function, 41mm case, classic steel bracelet as well as not one but three subdials incorporating running seconds and chronograph second elements. But hold the front page, we are only getting started, devoted timelords.

The 47mm lug to lug is as easy going as a summer’s day lounging by the hotel pool while the models technical prowess and brand visuals are a joy to behold on and off the wrist. At 13.6mm thick, the domed sapphire crystal is there not to mention ergonomic chronograph pushers but where it comes into its own is due to the polished steel bezel. This is opposed to a contrasting one made from ceramic, found on standard steel watches within the epic Chronomaster collection.

That’s enough of the bezel for a moment. The timekeeping star of this horological performance must go to the effervescent and oh so bubbly radiant dial. In fact, it makes us want to toast its immense discreteness with some pink champagne washed down with a delectable smoked salmon canape!

Brimming with different types of light pink hues with numerous textures for added depth, the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink has been given a gorgeous sunray-brushed effect and enjoys an impressive azurage finish creating an illusion of moving waves.

No you don’t need to dive head first into the sea strapped with a Submariner or Ploprof to admire this stunner. But you may like the article below if you want to take the plunge;

16 Of The Most Iconic Watches In Horological History

Matching standard watches within this lineup, you will find both the hands and markers crafted from rhodium that’s plated and faceted alongside other aspects that have made this crafty chronograph a horological hit. Think super speedy 1/10th of a second chronograph, tiny second hand together with a counter that offers a 60 second and minute timer.

The 60-minute counter is located at 6 o'clock while the 60-second counter is at 3 o'clock. There is also a miniscule but perfectly formed date aperture between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock. While we can clearly see its feminine appeal, the modern craze with rainbow watches, as seen in the Daytona ref 116598RBOW, 116599RBOW, 116595RBOW and all manner of colourful watches ensures this should be a firm favourite with those looking to buy a Zenith

In addition to this, tie in the shade that is a symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you have an unstoppable force on both fronts. Right down to the subdials on the face. We like the hands and indices in silver which do help with the overall visibility. Bold and more empowering than Emily Pankhurst, add in the steel bezel and the pink dial stands out more than a Richard Mille timepiece.

3. El Primero 3600 Movement

Pulsating under the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink is the hardy and contemporary El Primero 3600 movement.

Seen through the sapphire crystal caseback, it beats away merrily at a high 5Hz. The 3600 movement is literally second to none in its unmatched frequency and highest levels of timekeeping. This is largely in part down to the main chronograph hand that performs one revolution every ten seconds. What more do you expect from the Le Locle outfit?

Fixed with 4 screws this modern take on the 1969 automatic chronograph has many connoisseurs bowing to its watchmaking power which is further enhanced by a number of other present day factors that have been given a well deserved boost.

This includes the pumped up power reserve which now stands at a more than weekend-proof 60 hours, stop seconds function, a spanking new rotor in the form of a star and exquisite decorations that wouldn’t look out of place at a Royal Coronation.

4. Where Can You Buy A New Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink?

Available on a 3-link stainless steel bracelet from online stores and authorised dealers, you can buy a Zenith Chronomaster Sport Pink for £10,100 at the time of writing. Hurry up though…time is running out. Our horological spies tell us these will sell out (or have already sold out!) quicker than the Moonswatch due its limited edition run.

5. What’s Our View?

We’ll leave our comments for just a minute. But first, a word from our sponsors (actually, it's the head honcho at Zenith, Julien Tornare!)

“The Chronomaster Sport is our most emblematic modern El Primero chronograph today, and I’m so happy to see it serve as a vessel to promote the fight against breast cancer…Susan G. Komen is doing an incredible job making a difference for women across the world, and we are proud and humbled to support their efforts.”

Now what do we feel? Since you’ve asked that pertinent question, it’s a win-win for any avid enthusiast and supporter of breast cancer. We are all for making positive impacts on society and there is no greater than what the Susan G. Komen Foundation represents.

Giving individuals the opportunity to live better, longer and healthier is without doubt a no brainer in anyone’s mind. Coupled with the work they have done previously with the brand both have worked tirelessly to deliver a piece that raises awareness in every sense of the word.

7. Conclusion

On the face of it, this timepiece tells more of a story than its heritage, El Primero 3600 movement and chronograph characteristics. It is obviously much more than that…on the face of it.

Built for a distinctive purpose, the brand’s ingenious watchmaking abilities are fully behind Susan G. Komen and the incredible work they do. Hand in hand, they are both supporting each other to get the overwhelming message across which is a striking message for enthusiasts and breast cancer sufferers alike in the toughest of times.

As Michael Jackson deftly put it, they are making the world a better place. Be it offering education, screening or treatment, we second and third that! The unwavering commitment and partnership will no doubt stand the test of time. Sure, they are both hard working on their own.

But their standalone movements are just as prominent a driving force.
