As a chronograph, it weighs only 40g. The watch is made of ultra-lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, silicon and titanium from the inside to the outside. Zenith experts started with the movement and selected titanium as the main components of the movement, namely the main board and the five splints, which greatly reduced the overall weight of the watch. In addition, Zenith Watch Manufacture also made double gears of chronograph watches in silicon, and added silicon escapement forks and escapement gears. Silicon is a lightweight and non-magnetic high-tech material, which is not only harder than stainless steel, but also guarantees the excellent power of the movement. This outstanding design brings surprising results: the weight of a normal movement is 21.10 grams, while this movement is only 15.45 grams, which reduces the weight by nearly 1/4.

Equipped with a central second hand that jumps 10 times per second, the dial is divided into 100 scales, so that the chronograph hand can rotate once around the dial in 10 seconds. This chronograph not only has a chronograph function, it can also display 1/10 second (counting seconds to one decimal place), providing extremely accurate and clear time reading function. Because this mechanism requires a lot of kinetic energy, in order to provide the power of mechanical devices, Zenith watchmakers use lightweight silicon chronograph double gears. The weight of this material is 1/3.5 of the general alloy.
In terms of the shape of the watch, the designer redesigned the 42 mm case of the tenth-of-a-half chronograph watch, skillfully increasing the case to 45 mm, but at the same time making the case show unparalleled lightness on the wrist . At the time of Zenith, carbon fiber coated porcelain aluminum was selected as the case material. The high-tech material of porcelain aluminum is not only light in weight, but also has extremely high strength and hardness-the Vickers hardness value of porcelain aluminum is 1800, and the stainless steel material 316L of most watches has a Vickers hardness value of 160-200. The two chronograph buttons and crown of the watch are made of titanium.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the strap is made of Nomex material, and is embedded with a natural rubber protective layer, with a three-folding buckle, which enhances the comfort and safety of wearing. Nomex is a man-made fiber developed by DuPont. Because of its extremely low ignition point, it is a special material for making F1 racing suits. It is fire-resistant and temperature-resistant. Now, Nomex man-made fibers are used by firefighters, racers and armed police.
