Zenith just released a grail-level timepiece that hits all the right notes for vintage fans and modern collectors alike. Meet the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar—now reimagined in a black and rose gold stunner that feels as luxe as it looks. First teased in steel earlier this year, the new 38mm case in 18k rose gold is a nod to the 1969 A386, but with contemporary updates that push this watch squarely into “must-have” territory.
Inside, it’s powered by the El Primero 3610, a high-frequency automatic movement capable of measuring down to 1/10th of a second. Despite packing a full triple calendar and moonphase complication, the Chronomaster doesn’t skimp on performance—it boasts a 60-hour power reserve and a visible blue column wheel through the case back. On the dial, the layout is a masterclass in legibility and symmetry: day and month windows flank the top, a date sits discreetly at 4:30, and the moonphase integrates beautifully into the chronograph register at 6. Rose gold accents on the subdials and hands pop against the matte black backdrop, giving it that perfect balance of stealth and shine.
Throw in SuperLuminova markers for nighttime legibility and a black calfskin strap with a matching gold buckle, and you’ve got a dressy daily driver that doesn’t miss. At $26,300, the Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar in rose gold isn’t cheap. Still, it’s a flagship-level statement that delivers on every front.
