The softened, matte finish and gunmetal shade of microblasted titanium transforms the look of a case which is more normally presented in polished and brushed stainless steel. Offering a central display of the hours and minutes, small seconds at 9 o’clock, chronograph with central chronograph hand, 12-hour counter 6 six o’clock, and 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a tachymeter scale and date indication between 4 and 5 o’clock, the Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition comes with a blue alligator leather strap featuring a protective rubber lining and stainless steel pin buckle.Zenith’s design team has sought to bring the colors and textures of the great outdoors to the A384’s silhouette with a 37mm microblasted tourneau-shaped titanium case and green dial, which is by far the hottest color in watchmaking this year. Beating within it at a rate of 36,000 VpH (5 Hz) and with a 50-hour power reserve, is the same movement it would have had had it been made in 1969: the venerable El Primero high-frequency 400 automatic chronograph with column wheel. ![]() What makes this edition significant and even more unique is that it represents the final version of the A386 available with the original “Revival” case. The stainless steel case with pump-style pushers is an exact reproduction of the 1969 A386, using the blueprints of the original to preserve the proportions of the iconic chronograph. Inspired by never-released vintage prototypes found in the attic of the Manufacture, the Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition features a white-lacquered dial with three counters in three shades of blue, reflecting a previously unknown prototype face from the company archives. ![]()
