Zenith has unveiled a new take on its celebrated Chronomaster Sport, this time with a striking meteorite dial. Once reserved as a Japan-only release, this edition is now offered worldwide, combining Zenith’s high-frequency chronograph expertise with the natural beauty of extraterrestrial material.
A brand rooted in precision
Founded in 1865, Zenith is known as one of the few Swiss manufactures capable of producing its own movements entirely in-house. The Chronomaster Sport, launched in 2021, quickly established itself as the modern face of the brand’s legendary El Primero chronograph, offering 1/10th of a second precision and a versatile sports-luxury design. By adding a meteorite dial, Zenith continues its tradition of blending innovation and heritage, making the Chronomaster Sport not just a performance tool but also a canvas for artistry.
Technical excellence with a cosmic touch
Inside the steel case beats the El Primero 3600 calibre, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour and offering 60 hours of power reserve. The chronograph hand makes a full sweep of the dial in just ten seconds, a feature that sets Zenith apart from traditional chronographs. The watch maintains a 41 mm stainless steel case, 100-metre water resistance, and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. What makes this model unique is its dial: crafted from genuine meteorite, each pattern is naturally formed and therefore unique. The silvery striations shimmer under light, creating a textured contrast against the black ceramic bezel with its 1/10th of a second scale.
A watch for collectors and dreamers
The Chronomaster Sport Meteorite is not simply about aesthetics. It connects the watch to something larger than horology itself — the cosmos. For collectors, it’s an opportunity to own a piece of the sky in combination with one of the most respected automatic chronograph movements in Swiss watchmaking. For everyday wear, it remains as versatile as any steel Chronomaster Sport, equally suited to the office or the weekend, but with a dial that sparks conversation and fascination.
Price, availability, and verdict
The Zenith Chronomaster Sport Meteorite is priced at $12,000 USD on a steel bracelet. Availability begins in September 2025 through Zenith boutiques and authorized retailers worldwide. With its blend of technical performance and natural wonder, this watch demonstrates why Zenith continues to stand among the most forward-looking yet tradition-anchored brands in Switzerland.
If you’ve ever wanted a chronograph that captures both the precision of watchmaking and the poetry of the stars, this one hits the mark. If you don’t have the budget for such a timepiece, don’t worry, here is a far more affordable one : the Formex Essence Space Ghost 41mm !
