I had the great pleasure of reporting for MR PORTER on its collaboration with BAMFORD and Zenith in 2019. The watch was stunning. It was the 50th anniversary of the seminal El Primero chronograph calibre and the brand nailed it!
This week, Zenith are back at it, with the Chronomaster Revival Shadow, the same A384 case as seen in the MR PORTER edition but this time in a killer microblasted Titanium. Hot damn! What a looker!! And at 37mm - its spot on!
The Shadow is highly legible, with grey counters and tachymeter scale subtly contrasting against the deep, matte black dial. The hands and applied markers are filled with white SuperLuminova that emits a bright green glow in the dark. The black rubber strap with a cordura-effect features a touch of white on the stitching, fixed to a microblasted titanium pin buckle that matches the stealthy finish of the case.
As you’d expect, the El Primero is visible through the display back.
I don’t own a Zenith - but if I did, it would definitely be a A384.
