The 38mm case features a domed box sapphire crystal, as well as radial brushing on the lugs that furthers the retro effect of this watch. On the periphery of the dial on a black track we see a time division of 1/100th of an hour, once used to calculate 1/100th of an hour for time spent working – this is a holdover from the original A386 models. These stainless steel models are either available with a reverse-panda-style dial, with black as its base and silver subdials, or a dial that is almost a spitting image of the original A386 – tricoloured subdials in light grey at 9 o’clock, dark grey at 6 o’clock and blue at 3 o’clock (the rose gold model also has this dial configuration).Ĭuriously, the reverse-panda dial (that has no historical precedence in the A386 line) has beige SuperLuminova, whilst the tri-colour dial features white “C1” SuperLuminova – regardless, both are very attractive options, giving those interested in stainless steel chronographs more options to choose from in this competitive environment. This new model comprises 3 models, two in stainless steel, that would not look out of place in the original 1969 release, as well as a precious metal version that brings a warm and stylish edge. The new Chronomaster Original however, will form a permanent part of the Zenith line-up – one that has been much awaited since the discontinuation of the last 38mm Chronomaster.
#ZENITH CHRONOMASTER ORIGINAL BOUTIQUE EDITION SERIES#
During the 50th anniversary celebrations of the El Primero, we saw many limited edition collaborations on this model, including models done with Phillips Watches, as well as the Revival series that saw a trilogy of precious models with ultra-extended (50 year) warranties.

The A386 forms the basis of the new Chronomaster Original, reviving the original proportions and dial design of this foundational model. This is something that was achieved with the release of the Zenith Chronomaster Original, a watch that would not look out of place in 1969, but also would not be possible without the knowledge we have accumulated as of 2021.

The much anticipated re-release of the lauded Zenith 38mm El Primero Chronograph had to be something that paid tribute to what defined Zenith in the 20th Century, whilst bringing innovation to an icon. Zenith’s roll-out of their greatest hits in 2021 have provided much for those that love a vintage aesthetic.
