This high-frequency (5Hz) chronograph comes with an integrated automatic architecture as well as a column-wheel and lateral clutch. Inside the case, no surprises, as the watch comes equipped with the iconic El Primero Calibre 400. Matching this dial is a rubber and Cordura-effect strap in green with a matte microblasted titanium pin buckle. It also comes with a white on green date wheel, camouflaged with the rest of the dial.
Zenith is giving its watch an adventurous look with a matte khaki green dial, and contrasting black registers and tachymeter scale, with a touch of vintage inspiration with its warm beige-coloured SuperLumiNova on the applied baton markers and hands. Don’t expect the classic tri-colour or panda schemes here. The other unexpected change in this Chronomaster Revival Safari is the dial. The case retains its classic barrel shape and compact 37mm diameter. No coating is applied, as this matte titanium is absorbing light rather than reflecting it. Not only the look will be muted, but this finishing also reveals a darker colour for the material. The entire case, including the star-emblazoned crown and pump-style pushers, is fashioned this material. Replacing the traditionally finished stainless steel case in a mix of satin-brushed and polished surfaces, the Chronomaster Revival Safari is crafted in titanium, a lightweight and resistant material, and finished with matte microblasted surfaces. This watch is once again a modernized take on the geometry and overall proportions found in the historical A384, however with something less vintage-inspired.
Today, and still based on the A384 architecture, the brand launches an adventurous and rugged edition, the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Safari. There have been some more editions based on these faithful re-editions, with a more contemporary take, such as the Shadow or the Liberty editions. Zenith has been playing hard on the vintage trend in recent years, bringing back some of its most glorious watches from the inaugural El Primero trilogy – A384, A385 and A386 – as well as other important models, such as the A3817 launched a couple of weeks ago.
