#Zenith a386 revival series

While it used to be closed, it now opens via a sapphire crystal over the cogs and the oscillating weight, decorated with a Côtes de Genève motif, and the movement, which has a 50 hour power reserve. In its desire to remain faithful to the lines of the past, the mushroom pushers and lugs were digitized and then reproduced exactly. This sporty composition is also capped with domed glass, just like the iconic model born fifty years earlier. The shape of the indexes and hands adopts the one that created the unique identity of the timepiece.

The whole is encircled by a tachymetric scale. On the white-lacquered dial we find the totalizers and the small second counter with three distinct tints. In this way, each El Primero A 386 Revival comes to life at the heart of a 38mm diameter case in white gold, rose gold or yellow gold. What do they have in common? They of course all have automatic caliber with a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour, here the El Primero 400, but they are also designed as closely as possible to the original model.
