5. Zenith Chronomaster ‘Revival Shadow’, Ref: 97.T384.4061/21.M384
Zenith brings a forgotten concept back to life with the Chronomaster ‘Revival Shadow’ Ref: 97.T384.4061/21.M384, which preserves the vintage spirit while incorporating contemporary standards.
The Zenith Chronomaster ‘Revival Shadow’ draws its design cue from a little-known Zenith chronograph prototype from the 1970s, featuring a blackened case. The Ref: 97.T384.4061/21.M384 offers a modern take on the retro appeal with a 37mm micro-blasted titanium case. The dial of the ‘Revival Shadow’ lives up to its name, coloured in two different shades. A matte stone-grey tachymetric scale and three grey chronograph counters, harmoniously presented at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, perfectly complement the dark anthracite black dial. The contrast between dark black and the stone grey lends an understated, subdued look that evokes sophistication rather than flashy attention.
Both shades are further contrasted by the white detailing seen on the tachymeter, chronograph counters, and other dial design elements. The ‘Revival Shadow’ omits a bezel in support of the flat dial and a box sapphire crystal. Lastly, the titanium ladder-style bracelet not just evokes the sporty character intended for the model but also enhances the stealthy, all-black aesthetic.
Why this watch is a great pick: Zenith brings some of the most notable modern sensibilities while preserving the aesthetic indicative of the 60s/70s era, allowing you to own a piece of history.
