The zenith chrono.

First time seeing and must say in my opinion nicer than the daytona.

How was the bracelet/clasp? I thought the clasp was a bit of a nail breaker and this put me off.

Clasp did feel a bit flimsy the bracelet was fine though. My main concern that it may wear large but felt and looked fine.

Yes the clasp is the weak spot with this one - just not up to the excellent standard of the rest of the watch.

That said, on a personal level, the 4:30 date position is the biggest crime with the design on this piece. Imagine it as a no-date, or with the date hidden away in the "6" subdial. I'd probably already own one if it wasn't for that... but then I have an irrational hatred of 4:30 dates.

Totally agree gotbifferedcthis the other day ...
Far too small

Thank you both for the feedback. For me the clasp was a deal breaker but maybe I'm just being picky. It's not like it's a cheap watch though.

100% agree with the clasp feeling flimsy. Disappointing on an 11k watch but the rest of the watch makes up for it. The 4:30 date window doesn’t bother me as much as most people.

Just ordered an Artem sailcloth strap so waiting for it to come in so I can swap out the bracelet.

I think the 1/10th second timer is pretty slick. Really like the three different colored subdials too. Great looking watch

That's the one I'd go for.

Zenith Chronomaster Sport is a decent timepiece. Clasp is the weak link here but the slick 1/10 complication more than made up for it.

Interesting looking watch.

Can those more knowledgeable elaborate on the clasp issue, with a follow up question: does it have some sort of micro adjustability? Thanks in advance,

I’m really really curious if Rolex finally adds a date to Daytona with next iteration. This, AP, 5 o clock date seems to be the thing now for chronos

For me those are the most interesting elements as well.

I have yet to try one on but I’d like to

Zaytona, the one you can actually buy from the AD without spending $$$$$
