Das Ergebnis ist die Chronomaster Revival Safari. Like the original, the El Primero 400 beats at a high frequency of 36,000 beats per hour, and is equipped with both a column wheel and a lateral clutch. Präzision und Ergonomie des berühmten Chronographen sollen erhalten bleiben. While I’m usually not a fan of date windows, the date here is discreet with a green wheel that blends into the dial.īeating inside is the El Primero 400, a gently upgraded version of the original launched in 1969. Unlike the Shadow, the Safari is more functional, having a seconds track on the outer perimeter of the dial, which means that it’s capable of recording elapsed time.Īnd it also has the date found on the standard A384. The green dial has a matte, granular texture that reinforces the safari-themed livery. And given the current popularity of green-dial watches, the Safari will prove to be a commercial success. Nevertheless, it’s still a fair buy relative to the rest of the market. With a price tag of US$9,000, the new Chronomaster Revival Safari costs about 10% more than the Shadow and the A385 on a bracelet, making it less of a value proposition compared to the rest of the Revival lineup. However, “faux-patina” on the hands and indices is a tad affected, especially considering the Safari is not a vintage remake, but rather a modern design conceived to capitalise on green dials being in vogue. Lightweight and non-reflective, titanium makes sense for a watch that’s meant to be for the great outdoors. In fact, the microblasted titanium case suits the safari theme better than the monochromatic Shadow. The Shadow was one of my favourite recent watches from Zenith, so that’s a good thing. If the Chronomaster Revival Safari looks familiar, that’s because it’s essentially the Chronomaster Revival Shadow in green.
Following the 'Shadow'and 'The Cover Girl', among the others, this is the time of the Chronomaster Revival Safari. 97.T384.400.57.C856, price CHF 8900 Zenithkeeps expanding its Chronomaster Revival series. Pairing a matte khaki-green dial with faux-aged “lume” and an El Primero A384 in blasted titanium, the Chronomaster Revival Safari is one of the more unusual El Primero remakes to date, despite its fashionable colour. The new Zenith Chronomaster Revival Safari comes in sandblasted titanium with a green and black dial. In a year where green dials have become a major fad, Zenith is keeping up with the Chronomaster Revival Safari, a chronograph “inspired by the great outdoors” according to the brand.
