Chronomaster Revival Poker Chip
A playful, “like-new” and impressive limited edition titanium chronograph wristwatch with luminous poker chip dial and strap, date, warranty and presentation box, one of a limited edition of 200 pieces made in collaboration with SJX
Full-Cataloguing
- Sporting a quirkier look from its El Primero family, the G383 features a funky sectored dial with black and gold patterns that reminds one of a poker chip you would see in a game of Texas Hold’em.
- Fast forward to 2021, this icon is reimagined thanks to the collaboration with SJX and Romain Marietta, Zenith’s head of product development. The result, a striking matte gun metal titanium Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip” fitted with a jaw dropping luminous dial, and a glow-in-the-dark strap that can’t be missed in the dark.
- Micro-blasted the case of this revival model is based on the 38mm El Primero A386 giving the watch a more contemporary aesthetic. The dial is rendered in matching dark grey with matte black segments with Super-Luminova patterns that pays homage to the vintage original. Beating inside is the El Primero cal. 400 which is the same movement found in the ref. G383.
- A spectacular reinterpretation of the original, the Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip” is produced in a limited edition 200 pieces only. Kept in its “like-new” overall condition, this is definitely the wildest El Primero that Zenith fans must have.
Zenith
Swiss | 1865Since Zenith's beginnings, founder George Favre-Jacot sought to manufacture precision timepieces, realizing quality control was best maintained when production was housed under one roof. Zenith remains one of the few Swiss manufacturers to produce their own in-house movements to this day.
Today, the brand is best known for the "El Primero," the firm's most successful automatic chronograph movement. In an interesting twist of fate, the company that owned Zenith during the 1970s decided to move on to quartz movements and therefore sought to destroy the parts and tools necessary to make mechanical movements. One watchmaker realized this folly and hid the tools and parts before they were destroyed. In 1984, he returned them to Zenith so they could once again make the El Primero movement.
