One of the top Baselworld surprises for me - Zenith El Primero A386 Revival

 
 By: andrewluff : March 24th, 2019-11:29
After spending the last few days in Basel, I have to say that one of the highlights and surprises of the whole 2019 show for me was the A386 Revival! On paper, this watch should not appeal to me as it not my normal style being quite classical and 38mm... ...  

Thank you so much for this report and for your impressions.

The pictures are awesome! My favorite among the three is the white gold. My only regret is that they didn't make it steel. But like you, relieved to know that they didn't decide to sell it in a set of three. So, a special orange version for you, Andrew? B... 

They did make a steel version...

BUT it was only sold as part of the box set they released during Geneva week Cheers Andrew

I loved the box set and was really surprised that they produced the steel only as part of this set...

for me, they could have put the steel version as 500 pieces or an unlimited number and sold them straight away! Cheers Andrew

Yes,

It should not have ticked my box on paper, but a very well thought out watch and great on the wrist. Cheers Andrew

This is a revival of the watch which contained the EP movement

It's a 50 piece (in each gold) edition to celebrate the release of the A386 and the 50 years since Zenith created the El Primero movement. This is the classic EP movement in it, the same found in others. Cheers Andrew
