Zenith Captures Parisian Architecture on the Wrist with New Chronomaster Original Special Edition

Zenith is celebrating Parisian architectural beauty with its new Chronomaster Original Paris Edition, a timepiece that captures the elegance of the French capital. Inspired by the ordered compositions and proportions of Parisian streetscapes, this special edition watch reinterprets the city's refined aesthetic for the wrist.

The new Chronomaster Original Paris Edition retains the classic design of the legendary 1969 A386 watch, featuring a 38mm steel case with the original proportions, pump-action chronograph pushers, and a box sapphire crystal. The most striking element is its custom-made gradient patina green dial. This unique color is inspired by the distinctive hues formed by the oxidation of copper roofs and historic buildings across Paris over time. The dial's subtle green gradations create a rich visual depth, complemented by three tone-on-tone sub-dials that maintain the El Primero's signature balanced layout, blending vintage style with modern quality.

Each watch is engraved with "ÉDITION PARIS" and a limited edition number, underscoring its exclusive status. The timepiece comes with a new steel bracelet and an additional black nubuck leather strap, offering versatility for both formal and casual wear. Powering the watch is Zenith's renowned El Primero 3600 high-frequency automatic chronograph movement, capable of measuring 1/10th of a second with precision. The transparent case back reveals the blue column wheel and the star-shaped oscillating weight.

Further enhancing its functionality, the watch is equipped with Zenith's patented ZENCLASP™ buckle, developed over three years. This clasp features a tool-free micro-adjustment mechanism, allowing for 2.5mm adjustments up to a total of 10mm, accommodating wrist size changes for improved comfort. The Chronomaster Original Paris Edition will be launched first in France, with only 50 pieces available globally.
