Zenith Shadow

Loving the new A384 re-issues from Zenith and this one is a stunner. Announced today.

Seems like a lot of money for not a lot of watch...

CHF: $8,400 = USD: $8,635

Agree it's alot of money, but an in-house column wheel chrono in a titanium case with domed sapphire won't be cheap.

Love the removal of the date window and the sizing. I think Zenith are moving in the right direction.

I missed the part about the size in the article 37MM nice, definitely a must see in person. The photos probably don't do it justice, the case itself looks chunky/bulky.

Aren't all of Zeniths movements in house? They've used titanium before, is it the process of blackening it that is so costly?

Taking the date away and going 37mm? Let's see if horophiles put their money where their mouth is and reward Zenith for this.

I may be often cynical, but here's hoping they do.

It’s a stunner.

Does the movement have any resistance to magnetism?

I've been looking at the regular a384, I love both.

When I was browsing I heard the discount was an easy 2k euro (from 8k to 6k). So if that's the case I would love to pick one up, somehow, sometime, at 4k.

Black watches are always something I find I have to try on to see if I like them. They tend to look better in pics too than my wrist!

They say it’s microblasted titanium. What’s going to happen when it scratches? Will it change colour?

50m WR is just garbage.

You plan on diving with a 37mm chrono?

Loved that they removed the date window at 4:30.

I think it will be a hit. Looking forward to seeing it in the metal.

Has anyone seen a lug to lug measurement? I love the design but have no idea how this case and sizing would fit on my wrist. For 37mm it seems like it would wear bigger based on thickness.

I’m also interested in the lug to lug measurement

Very nice. Vintage but new. But I already have a speedmaster for that

Anyone pick this one up? I really like the panda dial and step ladder bracelet of the a384 but I like the no date look of this
