Zenith was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, then only 22 years old. His dream was to concentrate, unite and perform the art of watchmaking under one roof.

Zenith's Open Sun Dial
25-Aug-2007

The Chronomaster Open Sun Dial offers a special glow through its homage to the solar calendar and featuring the El Primero 4021 Caliber beating at a rhythm of 36,000 vibrations per hour and measuring time to mere tenths of a second.

Available in rose gold, it is available in either 40 or 45mm. Appliquéd numerals on a white gold dial add an elegant touch to this timepiece.

Its functions include hours and minutes in the center, a small seconds hand at 9 o'clock with a 3-branched hand and a power reserve indicator from hour axis.

The case comes in 18-carat rose gold with 18-carat rose gold push buttons and crown. Its curved sapphire glass has antireflective treatment on both sides and it is water resistant to 30 meters.

The handmade black alligator strap lined with silky Alvazel calfskin completes the look.

The Chronomaster Open Sun Dial starts at $18,400.
