Along with new case design, the Swiss watch manufacturer sought to go for a new bracelet design too.

The Zenith A384, alongside A385 and A386, were the first watches to feature the El Primero movement. In 1969 when the A384 was being designed, Zenith had to come up with a new case layout in order to be able to fit the el primero movement. The A384 Revival was originally released in 2019, however this year, they have gone back to a full retro look for the watch by releasing it with the exclusive bracelet that the original El Primero A384 made its appearance in. One of the pieces that stood out from this relase was the El Primero A384 Revival watch. We already looked at the Elite Classic range here. The dial is filled with complications and offers a filling experience when one tends to look at it.Earlier this year, during LVMH watch week in Dubai, Zenith released a variety of watches for both ladies and gents. The Zenith Chronomaster collection takes its cues from the modern timekeepers currently available in the market.

On the other hand, the Chronomaster Revival series pays homage to the original timepieces created under the ‘El Primero’ era. Whereas, the openwork dial offers an insight into the ‘El Primero’ in the El Primero Open series. The addition of tachymeter in the Chronomaster Sport series provides the collection with a sportier look. The Chronographs are fitted at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock markers and are controlled by two push buttons which are placed over and below the crown. The Zenith Chronomaster collection is fitted with features such as Date, Open Heart, Small Seconds, Tachymeter, and 1/10th seconds Chronograph. The series employed under this collection are Sport, Original, Revival, and El Primero Open. The identity of a timepiece from the Zenith Chronomaster is a set of chronographs stamped on the dial. The famed movement, El Primero was fitted inside this collection and to this day houses inside the Chronomaster’s case.

Taking its influences from the 60s and 70s, the Chronomaster collection bifurcates the art of watchmaking with simplicity. This marked the unprecedented growth of the Chronomaster collection and the El Primero with timepieces such as Chronomaster Open, Chronomaster Sport, and Chronomaster Revival.

First launched in 1994, the Chronomaster collection was the first one to display the El Primero movement with a sapphire crystal case back. The story of the Zenith Chronomaster collection is very well imbibed with the El Primero.
