Thoughts on Zenith A384 Revival ?
Hello all!
I hope you all are healthy and well as that is of upmost importance. I stumbled upon the Zenith A384 Revival today, while looking up random watch up Would anyone like to share their thoughts on it? I like it because of the 37mm size! Although being a square/cushion case, it might wear larger than a 37mm round watch It’s also neat that they kept it true to the original (is what I’ve read) and that they didn’t use faux lume |

Love the way the dial looks. Not sure how I feel about the case, i'd have to see one in person.

Not for me. It kinda reminds me of one of the Seiko recraft pieces, perhaps crossed with a OQ?

Gotta say I do like the bracelet on it. Very cool retro look. I have one of the older Ebel chronos w the el primero inside, so the history of this movement alone fascinates me. Definitely cool.

It seems like the bracelet is a big deal as it was designed by Gay Freres or something like that? I honestly don’t know much about it but I’m my readings that was brought up quite a bit Looks cool too With the weight reduction holes as per race cars |

I am interested in a Zenith with the el Primero movement, but in pictures this watch looks like the dial is too small for the case.

Yes! I love is one. It’s not really all jet blacked out, has grey tones, which is awesome.

I like the design of this especially the new Shadow version. I have no idea how this would fit on my wrist though.

Does the movement have any magnetic resistance?

Very beautiful - but 37mm may be just a bit small in today’s 40mm+ world.....

I like the watch and the bracelet. Too small for me though and I would like to see it in a 42 mm case.

Anyone know the lug to lug height? I suspect it wears much larger than its 37mm diameter would suggest.

Rolex bought Gay Frères years ago, I guess Zenith manufacture that (quite terrible) bracelet under licens. Edit: although I know nothing about IP laws.
