Introducing: The Zenith Chronomaster Revival A384 Gets A Tropical Overlay (Live Pics)

I could’ve sworn that this was something Zenith already made, but maybe it’s the combination of remembering Zenith’s brown-dialed A385 revival and the many listings I’ve stumbled across with original tropical dial A384s that make this release all the more familiar. That means, no, this isn’t a groundbreaking release, but one Zenith should have done a long time ago. 

The only sticking point I have with the revival series is the ladder bracelet—it’s perhaps a bit too faithful to the original vintage inspiration. That is, the bracelet and clasp feel quite flimsy during wear and use, and though the shape is novel in this day and age, it’s a great example of something I would have loved to see modernized for a chronograph at $10,000. For me, I’d probably be throwing this on a strap immediately. But the chronograph itself, with the iconic El Primero movement, is incredibly fun to use.
