ZENITH introduced the Chronomaster Sport Titanium on February 8, 2024. It keeps the 41 mm format and El Primero 3600 chronograph of the Chronomaster Sport, but puts the case, bezel, crown, pushers and bracelet in grade 5 titanium. ZENITH says the bracelet model weighs 30% less than its steel equivalent.
What is new about the Chronomaster Sport Titanium?
The change is primarily material and appearance, not a new movement or a smaller case. The 41 mm case and three-link bracelet are grade 5 titanium, as are the bezel, crown and pushers. ZENITH describes the case as predominantly satin-brushed, with polished chamfers and a polished caseback. The titanium bezel has an engraved 1/10-second scale.
The dial is nickel-grey with a sunray finish and three contrasting counters in anthracite, grey and silver. This replaces the more familiar steel model’s look with a coordinated grey palette. ZENITH’s February 8, 2024 announcement says titanium makes the watch 30% lighter than the steel equivalent; that is the manufacturer’s comparison, not an independently verified weighing.
How does the El Primero 3600 chronograph work?
The automatic El Primero 3600 runs at 5 Hz, or 36,000 vibrations per hour, and has a stated 60-hour power reserve. Its chronograph displays elapsed time to a tenth of a second. As ZENITH explained in an earlier Chronomaster Sport release, the elapsed-time scale is graduated over 10 seconds on the bezel. The movement is visible through a sapphire display back; the 2024 announcement notes its blue column wheel and open rotor.

These specifications describe the mechanism and display, not a guarantee of measured accuracy in daily wear. No independent timing test is established by the launch information.
What are the dimensions and water resistance?
Hodinkee’s contemporaneous February 8, 2024 launch report lists the watch at 13.8 mm thick, with 100 m water resistance, and gives its weight as 105 g. These are reported launch specifications, not measurements presented as independent testing. ZENITH’s 30% lighter statement is a separate comparison with the steel equivalent.
Bracelet and rubber-strap versions
At launch, the bracelet version was reference 95.3100.3600.39.M3100. The rubber-strap version was reference 95.3100.3600.39.R951. ZENITH also introduced integrated FKM rubber straps in black, blue, green and white, each with a folding clasp, and said they were available separately. Because the case uses an integrated strap design, generic strap compatibility should not be assumed.

Who might prefer the titanium version?
The titanium model is the clearest choice for someone who wants the Chronomaster Sport’s 41 mm case and tenth-second chronograph, but prefers a lighter-wearing metal and a subdued grey dial. The bracelet gives an all-titanium configuration with an adjustable clasp; the rubber option offers a different feel and lower historical launch MSRP. Neither configuration changes the movement or the core chronograph function.
