This Zenith sports chronograph houses the El Primero Calibre 9004 automatic movement, a high-frequency mechanism visible through the skeletonised dial. The 44mm titanium case offers 100 metres of water resistance and delivers a 50-hour power reserve. The openwork dial features rhodium-plated hands and hour markers, three chronograph subdials, and a power reserve indicator positioned at 12 o'clock, all protected by sapphire crystal.
The watch sits on a black alligator leather strap, combining the technical performance characteristic of Zenith's chronograph heritage with a contemporary case construction and transparent dial design that reveals the movement's engineering beneath.
