The Next Chapter of the Blue Phase: Zenith Launches Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli
Following the grand presentation of the Blue Ceramic Chronograph Trilogy in striking blue and the ceramic and the beautiful G.J.F. at Watches & Wonders 2025 in commemoration of the brand’s 160th anniversary, Zenith introduces another eye-catching creation in blue: the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar with a stunning lapis lazuli dial.
This new edition is more than just a visual masterpiece. The deep blue of the dial pays subtle homage to the brand’s founder, Georges Favre-Jacot, who drew inspiration from the night sky when naming his manufacture. Zenith— the highest point in the sky— symbolized his pursuit of excellence in watchmaking. Now, with this stone dial, that vision is beautifully reflected once again evoking a starry night sky with its deep blue hue scattered with shimmering, gold-colored pyrite inclusions, that vision is beautifully reflected once again. Naturally occurring, these mineral flecks ensure that no two dials— and therefore no two watches— are exactly alike.
Rendered in a refined silver tone, the three grooved sub dials and the 1/10th of a second chapter ring stand out with striking contrast and superb legibility. The complete calendar display is harmoniously integrated, offering an intuitive layout. The day of the week and the month are positioned above the chronograph counters— at 11 o’clock and 2 o’clock respectively— while the color-coordinated date is nestled at 4:30. At 6 o’clock, the moon phase is combined with the chronograph minute counter, adding a poetic touch to the dial’s symmetry.
Encased in a compact 38mm case, the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli draws inspiration from the iconic 1969 A386, showcasing classic pump-style pushers, tapered lugs, and a raised box-shaped sapphire crystal that echoes vintage charm.
At its core lies the El Primero 3610 caliber–a contemporary evolution of Zenith’s legendary high-frequency chronograph with a robust 60-hour power reserve. Now refined with a true 1/10th of a second function, the chronograph seconds hand makes a full rotation of the dial every 10 seconds, precisely measuring each tenth of a second on the silver-toned chapter ring. Through the sapphire display case back, the movement's intricate architecture is revealed–including a blue column wheel and an open-worked rotor that includes a Zenith five-pointed star.
The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli comes fitted with a blue calfskin leather strap secured by a stainless-steel folding clasp and is also delivered with a matching steel bracelet with folding clasp.
Pricing is marked at $22,700.
