ZENITH is celebrating its 160th anniversary this year and they’re pretty ‘blue’ about it. As a stunning tribute to the Maison’s pursuit of perfection and its pioneering spirit, it has unveiled a trio of new timepieces.
Through these beautifully crafted blue ceramic chronographs, ZENITH continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, honouring its past while embracing the future. Each model is reimagined in the Maison’s signature blue, now crafted in a specially developed blue ceramic, marking a bold milestone for ZENITH’s legacy.
Blue has always been a defining element for ZENITH, symbolising the brand’s connection to the sky and its relentless pursuit of excellence. Commemorating its 160-year milestone, ZENITH has crafted three of its most iconic chronographs in this striking blue ceramic.
CHRONOMASTER SPORT
The CHRONOMASTER Sport has long been a symbol of ZENITH’s mastery of high-frequency chronometry. For the 160th anniversary, the sporty-chic chronograph is presented in blue ceramic for the first time. The 41mm case features alternating brushed and polished surfaces, while the sunray-finished blue dial incorporates ZENITH’s signature 3-6-9 chronograph counters and a red-tipped chronograph hand. Powered by the El Primero 3600 movement, it offers 1/10th of a second precision, with the chronograph seconds hand completing a full revolution every 10 seconds. The watch comes with both a ceramic bracelet and a rubber strap, each secured with a steel folding clasp.
DEFY SKYLINE CHRONOGRAPH
The DEFY Skyline Chronograph blends ZENITH’s bold modern design with its storied past. Entirely crafted from blue ceramic, the 42mm case and bracelet exude sophistication, while the dial features a geometric motif inspired by the brand’s four-pointed star.
Inside, the El Primero 3600 calibre delivers precision at 1/10th of a second, with the chronograph seconds hand completing a full rotation every 10 seconds. This timepiece is equipped with a quick-change strap system, allowing wearers to effortlessly switch between a ceramic bracelet and a blue rubber strap.
PILOT BIG DATE FLYBACK
The PILOT Big Date Flyback marks ZENITH’s long-standing connection to aviation. Featuring a 42.5mm micro-blasted blue ceramic case with a titanium crown, the watch is powered by the El Primero 3652 calibre, which integrates a big date function and a flyback chronograph.
The flyback feature allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single push, making it ideal for pilots. The blue dial, with luminescent-coated hands and Arabic numerals, ensures excellent legibility. The limited edition comes with two Cordura-effect rubber straps—one blue and one white—offering versatility and comfort.
Exclusive Limited Editions
Each of these chronographs is limited to just 160 pieces, making them a rare and valuable addition to any collection. Available individually or as part of an exclusive anniversary box set, these timepieces celebrate ZENITH’s legacy while embodying the brand’s forward-thinking spirit. Each are available for purchase exclusively through ZENITH’s boutiques and authorised retailers worldwide.
