Zenith Chronomaster Revival A384

About This Watch

The Zenith Chronomaster Revival A384 is a meticulous recreation of one of the three original El Primero references launched in January 1969. The A384 was distinguished by its cushion-shaped case, and this revival faithfully reproduces that distinctive silhouette at the original 37mm diameter — a size that feels charmingly compact today. The white dial features the legendary tri-color subdial configuration that made the El Primero instantly recognizable: blue for running seconds, light gray for 30-minute counter, and anthracite for 12-hour counter. Perhaps the most delightful detail is the Gay Frères-style ladder bracelet, a painstaking reproduction of the period-correct bracelet that accompanied the original. Powered by the El Primero 400, the proven high-frequency caliber beats at 36,000 vph and delivers 50 hours of power reserve. The domed sapphire crystal mimics the original plexiglass profile while offering superior scratch resistance. Through the exhibition caseback, the beautifully decorated El Primero movement is visible, its column wheel and distinctive star-shaped rotor a reminder of the engineering brilliance that saved mechanical chronographs from the quartz crisis. This revival is for collectors who appreciate faithful historical recreations with modern reliability.
