Zenith Chronomaster Original 03.3200.3600

The case measures 38mm across and 12.6mm thick, with a 19mm lug width. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic El Primero Cal. 3600 (5Hz, 1/10s chronograph). Power reserve is 60 hours. It beats at 36,000 vph. The movement uses 35 jewels.

It is rated to 50 meters, about 164 feet. That covers brief swimming. It is not a dive watch. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Zenith produced this reference from 2021 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

03 = stainless steel; 3200 = Chronomaster Original; trailing digits = dial/bracelet config. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

Chronomaster Original (A386-style tri-color, white dial). Collector nicknames are not official Zenith names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
