The problem is even worse if you try to drive the chronograph off the escape wheel. Balance amplitude can drop significantly when a chronograph is switched on, and if the watch isn't in optimum condition, accuracy can suffer if you leave the chronograph on for long enough. Driving a chronograph from the fourth wheel is already kind of pushing it it's the last conventional wheel in the going train, and stealing energy from the gears at that point means less energy is available to reach the balance. The dial is filled with complications and offers a filling experience when one tends to look at it.The reason you don't usually see chronographs driven by the escape wheel is that, generally, it's a terrible idea to try. The Zenith Chronomaster collection takes its cues from the modern timekeepers currently available in the market. On the other hand, the Chronomaster Revival series pays homage to the original timepieces created under the ‘El Primero’ era. Whereas, the openwork dial offers an insight into the ‘El Primero’ in the El Primero Open series. The addition of tachymeter in the Chronomaster Sport series provides the collection with a sportier look. The Chronographs are fitted at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock markers and are controlled by two push buttons which are placed over and below the crown.
The Zenith Chronomaster collection is fitted with features such as Date, Open Heart, Small Seconds, Tachymeter, and 1/10th seconds Chronograph. The series employed under this collection are Sport, Original, Revival, and El Primero Open.
The identity of a timepiece from the Zenith Chronomaster is a set of chronographs stamped on the dial. The famed movement, El Primero was fitted inside this collection and to this day houses inside the Chronomaster’s case. Taking its influences from the 60s and 70s, the Chronomaster collection bifurcates the art of watchmaking with simplicity.
This marked the unprecedented growth of the Chronomaster collection and the El Primero with timepieces such as Chronomaster Open, Chronomaster Sport, and Chronomaster Revival. First launched in 1994, the Chronomaster collection was the first one to display the El Primero movement with a sapphire crystal case back. The story of the Zenith Chronomaster collection is very well imbibed with the El Primero.
