Zenith Revives a Prototype Dial for Latest Chronomaster Release
Found in the attic of its historial Manufacture building.
Zenith‘s El Primero Chronomaster have long been well established in the world of chronographs, but it seems the Swiss luxury watchmaker is just about to release its most iconic model yet: the Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition.
While the watch looks very familiar to enthusiasts of the brand, it’s in fact something never released before: the new dial is based on a discovered prototype hidden in the attic of Zenith’s historic Manufacture building. Instead of the tri-color composition of the three subdials, the prototype elegantly featured three shades of blue, each progressively getting darker in tone. The rest of the watch also comes with a vintage flair, staying true to the design sensibilities of that era. Its stainless steel case measures in at a more modest 38mm, paired with classic pump-style pushers to control the chronograph. The movement is none other than the Zenith El Primero 400, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour and carrying a power reserve of 50 hours.
To learn more about Zenith’s Chronomaster Revival Manufacture Edition, head over to the company’s website, where the watch will retail exclusively for $8,700 USD until its Manufacture building reopens.
Elsewhere in watches, Piaget has updated its Polo S with a limited green dial.
