Hands-On with the Zenith Chronomaster Open in Rose Gold

On my most recent trip to the Worn & Wound offices in Brooklyn, I received an email toward the end of my week in the city from the rep for Zenith, one of my favorite brands. Would I be interested in taking one of the new Zenith Chronomaster Opens on loan for a bit so I could write about it for the site? Yes, of course I would. I honestly didn’t even realize while I was quickly skimming the email that it was the rose gold version being offered up. Well, let me tell you: that’s not an opportunity I’m going to miss. People generally don’t just go around asking me if I want to borrow a brand new gold chronograph for a few days. Frankly, I can’t imagine why. 

And so it was that on my last day in the office, a package arrived with the watch inside, unceremoniously presented in its black Zenith travel case. I opened it up, removed the watch, set the time, and strapped it on. Over the course of a long Memorial Day weekend, the rose gold Chronomaster Open would barely leave my wrist, and never leave my sight. This is the nature of taking on an expensive loaned watch. If I had the ability to sleep with one eye open, believe me when I tell you I’d have it trained on the solid gold chronograph sitting on my bedside table.
