Geneva Watch Days 2026 delivers a slew of high-end premieres, led by Doxa's SUB 300 Ti5, Zenith Chronomaster Solo Sport, M.A.D.Editions M.A.D.3, Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time x Vianney Halter, and De Bethune Db25 Digitale, with additional highlights from Ferdinand Berthoud, Girard-Perregaux, Ming, Frederique Constant and Greubel Forsey.
Zenith expands its lineup with the Chronomaster Solo Sport, a 40mm, 200m-water-resistant diver that uses a ceramic dial with textured Z-patterns and a ceramic bezel, powered by the in-house El Primero 3620 high-beat movement (60-hour power reserve) and a three-link steel bracelet with the ZENCLASP micro-adjust. Available now in no-date ($9,800) and date ($10,900) models, the collection emphasizes distinct dial details, a shark-tooth minute track, and a robust bracelet system as differentiators in a crowded dive-watch segment.
Zenith expands its Chronomaster family with four Chronomaster Solo Sport watches: three with date and one time-only, all 40mm steel cases with ceramic bezels and ceramic dials featuring a 45-degree 'Z' motif, paired with the new Zenclasp bracelet. They run the in-house El Primero 3620 (36,000 vph, 60-hour power reserve, silicon escapement) and are priced at CHF 8,900 for the no-date model and CHF 9,900 for the date versions. While they resemble the Chronomaster Sport, the four three-handers offer a simpler, still recognizable take on the line, with the brown dial version providing a warmer option.
Zenith, once a household name famed for inventing the remote, was acquired by LG in 1999 and no longer makes consumer televisions; it now focuses on Pro:Idiom encryption for hotel TVs, having helped lay groundwork for early HD and the digital broadcast transition.
The article reviews the Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli, highlighting its stunning lapis lazuli dial, high-quality craftsmanship, and impressive movement, making it arguably the most beautiful chronograph of 2025 despite its high price of $22,700.
LVMH Watch Week kicks off with a dazzling array of new watches, including Zenith's bejeweled Chronomaster Sport, Hublot's radiant Saxem alloy Big Bang, Tag Heuer's Plasma Diamant d’Avant-Garde adorned with lab-grown diamonds, the revamped Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon, and Bulgari's Octo Finissimo Tuscan Copper, as well as Zenith's Triple Calendar boasting the iconic El Primero movement.
The Zenith Space Command, one of the first wireless television remotes, featured a mechanical design that used sound instead of light or batteries. By pressing a button, a spring-loaded hammer struck an aluminum rod, emitting an ultrasonic frequency that triggered a circuit in the television. This design allowed the remote to work without being pointed directly at the receiver and eliminated the need for batteries. While modern remotes have become more complex, the minimalist aesthetic of the Space Command is making a comeback with the rise of streaming devices.
Zenith has launched a new collection of four pilot watches, including the Pilot Automatic and the Big Date Flyback, both in stainless steel or black ceramic. The Pilot Automatic has a new case design with a large, flat bezel, oversized crown, and large Arabic numerals filled with Super-LumiNova. It is powered by Zenith's automatic El Primero 3620 movement. The Big Date Flyback features a big date and flyback function, powered by the new automatic El Primero 3652 movement. Each watch has Zenith's interchangeable strap system and comes with a pair of straps. Prices range from $7,500 to $13,500.
