Zenith Chronomaster Sport Bracelet or Strap?

[ButtButt]

For those of you guys with this watch did anyone opt for the strap version? I can't seem to find any reviews with it... pretty much every review I've watched/read only had the bracelet version.

I've placed my interest/order at my AD but undecided on which version to go for. I love the way both look but my current daily is a Batman so thought I'd go with something different. It would be for the white dial steel version. Thanks.

I bought the white dial version on the s/s bracelet, but immediately removed it from the bracelet and put it on an Artem strap. I think it suits it a lot more than the s/s bracelet and I have a number of steel sports Rolexes and wanted the Zenith to look different from all the Rolexes.

I thought about buying the Zenith OEM strap and clasp for the Zenith after I took delivery of the watch but find it hard to justify the price of $700+ AUD for a rubber strap and s/s deployment clasp.

I have the black face on bracelet. I have been using a number of different straps as I think the watch is really versatile. I ordered the blue OEM rubber strap just yesterday as well as the deployment buckle. It should be arriving today or tomorrow. I would be more than happy to reply to this thread with my review of it. Cheers.

I am going to get the white face with blue strap.

I’ve had mine for close to a year now and have no complaints. Opted for the strap vs the bracelet as I feel it brings out the blue sub-dial and helps the watch ‘pop’ more.

I'll have to check out the Artem straps... I definitely want to explore trying different straps on this watch.

Awesome, would definitely love to hear what you have to say once you get the strap.

Is the rubber comfortable to wear on a daily basis? And how is the clasp? Love the pictures!

Sorry for the delayed response. I finally got the strap following a bunch of weather-related shipping delays. I'll jump right to my initial review of the strap. It actually is way better than I expected. It looks sort of thick, almost chunky, in pictures, but it really is extremely well dimensioned. It does taper quite a bit...20mm to 16mm giving it a rather thin profile on the inside of the wrist. I have the black face version and I'm so glad I went with the blue strap. It really matches perfectly with the 3 o'clock subdial.

I can't answer the bracelet vs. rubber strap because I love them both. I'd encourage both. It's probably cheaper to get the watch on the bracelet and then order the rubber strap after the fact. Hope this helps. Either way, this watch is absolutely incredible. Good luck!
