And if you'd like to know the price, simply click on the links in the description below. We greatly appreciate you'd purchase your next watch from us at JazTime.com. So I'll be taking a look at the Zenith Chronomaster Original. This one, the reference number is 03.3200.3600, the rest of it basically, depends on whether you get on this bracelet or on a strap. But basically, that's the reference number for this one. This one, the Chronomaster Original in 38 millimeters, full steel, same proportions as the A386. This one made with the, what they call the reverse panda look, with the black matte dial, with these silver sub-dials on there. Again, all stainless steel construction with the bracelet and I'll be going over the case, the dial, the crown functions, as well as the movement, and the bracelet. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on these throughout this video. So starting off with the case, we have 38 millimeters from finger to thumb. That's the 38-millimeter distance from a two to eight o'clock position. Same as what you get from a ten to four o'clock position same distance, same through 38 millimeters. We have a full stainless steel case here with a nice high polish, complete with my fingerprints, of course. As you can see, with a set and brush finish on the front. So it gives it a very distinct look, very much more, very much brighter on the front than what you would find on the sides. The sides basically dependent on whether you actually have light or not. I'm in a dark room with the light box being the only source of light here. So basically, if you have the lights on in your room, you're gonna be able to see all of this case in all of its beauty and the absolute luster coming from all of the stainless steel. No bezel to speak of, not really necessary here, but basically the very front of the case here, going around where the bezel would be on another watch, on any other watch, it's a nice high-polished ring, basically just going all the way around that dial. Again, if you have light, you can actually see it sort of becoming a halo around that black dial. On the very edge of the dial, you have a tachymeter which goes to a 10th of a second, and this basically shows that center-mounted chronograph hand going around once every 10 seconds. Instead of once every minute, it's once every 10 seconds. You also have a 60-minute or a 62nd sub-counter at the three o'clock position. 60-minute sub-counter at the six o'clock position. And of course, your 60 seconds counter that's your small seconds at the nine o'clock position, all slightly overlapping with each other, but they won't actually ever hit at least the sub-dial hands themselves, they won't. You also have a date aperture at the four-thirty position, black background with white text, very easy to read as well, but not so easy that, you know, it sort of takes on, you know, a very, a higher level within the visual hierarchy here. It's there when you need it. That second dial in there, basically showing the increments of those tenths of a second. So you have a hundred tenths of seconds here, giving you the hundred at the very top there. And showing you the chronograph functions here, just press the top button at these two o'clock position. You can see that center-mounted chronograph hand moving incredibly fast for a chronograph. And basically, it will have to travel around this dial six full times for that 62nd sub-dial to go all the way up. As you can see, the sub-dial at the six o'clock position, very, very slowly ticking up as it just sort of follows that 62nd sub-dial at the three o'clock, as that one ticks up. Once it reaches 60 seconds, it will have ticked up a full minute there at the six o'clock position. So as you can see the Zenith, the El Primero movement here, giving it a very, very distinct sense of movement, that 21st-century, sort of achievement there from Zenith or Zenith with themselves. I'll stop it again. And basically, if you want to restart all of the sub-dials here, as well as that center-mounted chronograph hand, just press that bottom pusher. And you're good to go. This watch only water-resistant down to five atmospheres or basically 50 meters below sea level. So I wouldn't take it much more than say, surface-swimmable. You can certainly wash your hands with it, no problem. If you take a look here at the crown, you can basically wind the watch at the base position. So there's not really all that much water resistance to speak of, but it's good enough that, you know, you can take the surface swimmable, no problem. Once you start feeling the resistance starting to ramp up in that winding crown, you can stop because you've reached the full power reserve, rather simple. Pull out to the next position. Whoops, pull out to the next position. You can advance the date by one and actually, let me move that hour hand forward. All right. Because it was actually at 10:00 PM, so let's move it forward all the way to the fourth. All right. All right. So basically if you are at after 10:00 PM, you are potentially at risk of damaging the movement, as I showed. Basically, don't force it. Just stop if you feel any resistance, but at 10:00 AM, no problem. You can advance the date forward. It's about a quarter turn and it gives a very nice, even click each time you turn that hand, or turn that winding crown. If you need to, you can just move it from the 31st to the first of the next month. Pull the crown out to the final position and note that that seconds hand does in fact stop giving you that hacking function. So you can then set the minute hand precisely wherever it needs to go based on the position of that seconds hand. Press the crown back in once you've got it nicely synchronized up to an atomic clock. You're good to go. So what makes all this work on the inside is the movement, the in-house made, well, Zenith known for making their own movements here. Let me undo the clasp here, so you can actually see it. All right? So it is the in-house made movement. The El Primero, the newest generation here in the 21st century, beats at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour or five Hertz. One Hertz more, but basically gives you that precision down to a 10th of a second there. And that bi-directional winding rotor, allowing you to basically wear the watch and wind it at the same time. And the power reserve for this watch, approximately 60 hours. So that basically means you can set it down on a Friday evening, pick it back up the following Monday morning, or basically just give it a nice wind, Sunday evening. And you're good to go for the rest of the week. Just wear it all-day Monday, you'll be back to the full-power reserve, no problem. While I'm zoomed out here, you can also see the bracelet, all right. Right here, this one modifies the model number by adding a /21.N3200. That basically denotes that it's the steel bracelet version. Center links, nicely high-polished with set and brush links on the outsides, high polish along their sides, as you can see, using the screw system as well for sizing. You also have a safety clasp here with the fold-over system that's in the star right there on safety. Just simply lift from the bottom to open it up. Lift from the top to unhook it, nice and easy. And you have the full stainless steel interior on there. And the sizing pins there for, you know, basically adjusting within about one and a little bit more of a link's distance. So you can size it on the fly if you are very good with a paper clip, but otherwise you can use a tool. No problem. Rather simple there. While I'm here, I can try it on my wrist once more, show you how it wears on seven inches. That's my wrist circumference there. All right? And as you probably saw from the beginning of the video, this watch bracelet is quite large for me. So I can recommend this for anyone, you know, up to even eight-and-a-half inches in circumference minus seven inches in circumference, you can wear this down to, you know, even six or six-and-a-half, maybe even five-and-a-half inches in circumference because that bracelet does fit very, very nicely on any wrist size. However, the case back does elevate the case itself and the lugs just a little bit more above the wrist than you would expect, but it will still slide very nicely under a suit cuff and jacket sleeve. Of course, the additional space between the lugs do give it more breathability than you would think. And so you can wear this pretty much every day, all day, every day, no need to worry about the sweating, and you know, plenty of space among these links, gives it plenty of breathability as well, very little tolerance as well. So you can continue to wear this for the entire lifetime of the watch. It won't pinch your skin. It won't pull hairs out at all. All right? So taking a look here at the very front of this case here, in front of the dial there, the face-on shot there, looks very, very distinct and quite, it's a very Zenith. There's Zenith look there with the sort of reverse panda look. The sub-dial slightly overlapping with each other, giving it that sort of a very large element at the very bottom of the style, making it kind of bottom heavy, not that that's a bad thing, but that's, you know, just a design decision that makes it distinctly Zenith, distinctly Zenith in their own right. The black, matte-black background with the, by the way, the sort of a, the luminescence on the index markers there, makes it very nice indeed. The hands themselves actually do glow significantly brighter than the index marks themselves. So you can certainly wear this at night and you know in low-light situations as well. No problem there. With the lights back on, that very distinct Zenith look, if I can force my camera to focus, there we go. Distinct Zenith look, you won't get it anywhere else especially with the El Primero, but enough of what I think. What do you guys think about this watch? Let us know down in the comments below what you think about the Zenith Chronomaster Original. The new 21st-century version, of course, of the El Primero movement, legendary in its own right. Rolex even used to use the El Primero movements in their Daytonas before they went and basically used their own. So let us know what you think down in the comments below.
