Don’t expect the classic tri-colour or panda schemes here. The other unexpected change in this Chronomaster Revival Safari is the dial. The case retains its classic barrel shape and compact 37mm diameter. No coating is applied because the matte titanium absorbs light rather than reflecting it. Not only is the look muted, but this finishing also brings out a darker colour for the material. The entire case, including the star-emblazoned crown and pump-style pushers, is fashioned from this material. Replacing the traditionally finished stainless steel case in a mix of satin-brushed and polished surfaces, the Chronomaster Revival Safari is crafted in titanium, a lightweight and resistant material, and finished with matte microblasted surfaces. This watch is a modernised take on the geometry and overall proportions found in the historical A384, however, with less vintage-inspired features. Today, and still based on the A384 architecture, the brand launches an adventurous and rugged edition, the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Safari. There have been some more editions based on these faithful re-editions, with a more contemporary take, such as the Shadow or the Liberty editions. Zenith has been playing hard on the vintage trend in recent years, bringing back some of its most glorious watches from the inaugural El Primero trilogy – A384, A385, and A386 -, to other important models, such as the A3817 launched a couple of weeks ago.
