Zenith Chronomaster Original SS Black Panda Dial

The Zenith 03.3200.3600/21.C903 Chronomaster Original SS Black Panda Dial stands as a potent homage to the legacy of the El Primero, one of the world’s first—and most revered—high-frequency automatic chronographs. Presented in a svelte 38mm stainless steel case, this Chronomaster Original channels the spirit and proportions of Zenith’s classic references from 1969 while delivering cutting-edge technicality. Its striking black “panda” dial reverses the traditional tri-color subdial scheme, offering an assertive and modern aesthetic highly desired by collectors. At the heart of the watch is the El Primero 3600 caliber, an automatic movement notable for its remarkable 5Hz (36,000 vph) beat rate and 1/10th-second chronograph capability—an engineering tour de force reflecting Zenith’s continued leadership in chronograph innovation. The watch’s pump-style pushers, applied indices, and faceted lugs further evoke its vintage DNA, but its upgraded column wheel and silicon escape wheel mark it as firmly contemporary in performance. With a 60-hour power reserve and 50m water resistance, it balances historical fidelity with everyday utility. For collectors, the Black Panda Chronomaster Original represents both a piece of watchmaking history and a modern statement, making it an exceptional cornerstone in any chronograph-focused collection.
